SDSU Mauler Turned Steelers Starter
Mason McCormick, the 6'5", 315-lb South Dakota State OL, exploded as a 2024 fourth-round Steelers pick, logging 17 games as a rookie before earning a stellar 71.1 PFF grade (21st/81 guards) in 2025 with 1,031 snaps, elite 71.6 pass-blocking (16th) allowing just 4 sacks/25 pressures, and gritty 66.7 run-blocking. An old-school mauler with combine-tested 5.08 speed and relentless intensity, his film screams differentiator for power-run schemes—perfect fit for teams needing a tough, reliable guard who elevates the line.
