Mason Holbrook brings disruptive, high-motor interior depth to Ball State
In the 2025 season, Mason Holbrook emerged as a productive Hamilton HS defensive tackle with 49 tackles, 15.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, and an interception, then arrived at Ball State as a 6-2, 268-pound freshman with clear MAC-level upside[1][4]. He looks like the kind of interior defender who wins with leverage, backfield burst, and relentlessness rather than flash alone, and his all-conference/all-region honors suggest a tough, dependable fit for a defense that wants disruption inside[1].
