Lincoln Mason brings NFL-sized upside to Ball State’s interior
Lincoln Mason is a **6-foot-6, 284-pound redshirt freshman** defensive tackle at Ball State with the kind of frame that can anchor an interior line, and his high-school résumé shows production plus winning pedigree: 54 tackles, eight sacks, and a role on back-to-back Oregon state championship teams. The biggest reasons to care are his size, disruptive pass-rush flashes, and room to develop into a tough matchup inside; the main question for any staff is whether his raw traits can be refined quickly enough for consistent college impact.
