In his junior campaign at Faith Lutheran High in Las Vegas, Mason recorded 102 tackles with 18 pass breakups, five forced fumbles, two interceptions and 10 tackles for loss. His impact even carried over into special teams, where he blocked three kicks.
Mason was rated as a three-star recruit by 247 Sports as the No. 7 overall prospect from Nevada. Standing at 6-foot-3 and 190 pounds, he picked up more than 20 Division I offers, ultimately choosing Jay Hill's defense at BYU over the likes of Arizona State, Boise State, Northwestern and more.
'Coach Hill is a coach that I trust with everything,' Mason said. 'He is a great guy, he is a great coach and he has a big plan for me in the defense. We talked a lot and went over a lot of things. He believes in my ability, he feels I can compete for a spot on the field right away and I am excited to play for him.'

Højlund (22) – who has three years remaining on his current deal with an option for a further year – struggled last season with just five goal contributions (four goals, one assist) in 2,014 minutes across 32 Premier League appearances and as United go in search for a new No. 9, the Dane is a candidate to leave. One of Manchester United's targets to lead their attack next season is RB Leipzig's Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian was left out of the Bundesliga club's friendly on Saturday after Newcastle United had submitted an opening offer of €80m including bonuses. Sesko has already made it known to teammates that he wants to leave this summer with both Manchester United and Newcastle vying for his transfer. There's also been reports suggesting that Højlund could be used as a makeweight in a deal for Sesko but so far the INEOS backed club haven't submitted an offer for the 22-year-old. also note that Højlund would be available for around £30m.
