Josiha Mason is an active, gap-squeezing ETSU defender with early-season production
In the 2026 season, ETSU defensive lineman Josiha Mason has opened with steady early usage and 5 total tackles, including 1 solo stop and 4 assists through three games, while also drawing praise in spring for helping trigger a sack on a fourth-down stop. He’s a 6-foot-1, 248-pound redshirt junior who looks built more for leverage and disruption than flash, and that fits a defense looking for active hands, motor, and reliability inside. No major news or injury concerns surfaced, so the appeal here is a sturdy rotational DL with a worker’s profile and room to keep climbing.
