Christian Smith (DL Coach) on Mayne: “We are very excited about Mason joining the Defensive Line room! Mason possesses a unique combination of size and explosiveness at the Defensive Tackle position that is rare to find. These special skills, along with his blue-collar work ethic, make him a great addition to our team. There is no doubt that he has tremendous upside and has the potential to be a very special player.”
