Versatile Albany Safety with Multi-Sport Athleticism
Mason was a standout defensive back for the University at Albany Great Danes during the 2012-2013 seasons, earning recognition as an NEC Defensive Player of the Week and making the 2013 CFPA Defensive Back Watch List. The Cincinnati native brought rare versatility to the secondary, combining ball-hawking skills with reliable tackling—recording 38 total tackles in 2013 while also contributing on offense with a 44-yard touchdown reception. His multi-sport background (track & field sprints/jumps) suggests elite athleticism and range. Mason's combination of defensive instincts, coverage ability, and offensive upside makes him an intriguing prospect for programs seeking a chess-piece safety who can line up multiple ways.
