Mason, you quite literally bull-dozed your way to the finest all-around season ever by a Wabash running back when, as a senior, you did the heavy lifting to help Wabash win the North Coast Athletic Conference and post a 12-1 overall record. In that magical 2015 season, you carried the ball 310 times for 2,011 yards, and 23 touchdowns (all single-season records) and scored two more touchdowns on screen passes. You shattered the single-game rushing record when you ran for 278 yards in a 45-17 shellacking of DePauw in Greencastle, and broke that record a week later when you rumbled for 326 yards and four touchdowns in a 35-14, come-from-behind win over Albion in the first round of the playoffs – in a blizzard! You capped your senior season by earning D3Football.com First Team All-America honors, in addition to being named the NCAC Offensive Player of the Year and First Team Academic All-America. Injuries hampered you in your first two years, but you established yourself as a junior when you ran for 835 yards and 12 touchdowns to win your first NCAC Player of the Year award. You would go on to set the career rushing record with 3,379 yards – yet did so with the 11th most rushing attempts!
