Mason Miller is a long, developmental linebacker who flashed in limited Iowa State snaps before transferring to North Dakota
In the 2025 season, Mason Miller was a redshirt freshman linebacker at Iowa State, appearing in two games and logging only limited action before entering the transfer portal; at 6-foot-3 and about 235 pounds, he brings the frame coaches like for middle-linebacker work, plus some recruiting pedigree as a Colorado standout. The big question is upside: he looks more like a traits-and-development play than an instant-impact starter, so he fits best with a staff that can coach patience, physicality, and special-teams value.
