Darrell has offers from Illinois and Akron. He is very interested in Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin, Penn State, Illinois, Auburn, LSU and Louisville but calls Illinois his current leader.

TOP 100 JUNIOR NEVER GETS ON TRACK
Early on Ursuline tried everything it could to get 2009 four-star prospect Darrell Mason on track at running back. But the 6-foot, 210-pound athlete could never become a factor in the game.
He ended up with 12 carries for only 11 yards with a long of only 5 yards. Every time he touched the ball, Marion Local would swarm to him, and he never could get a chance to get the ball in the open field and use his explosiveness. He did show some flashes of brilliance on defense in run support, and he had a key tackle on a goal-line situation.
After seeing the success on defense, it's easy to see why some schools like him much better at the safety spot than at running back.

FWIW, I am a huge believer that his best football ahead of him is on the defensive side of the ball...

So do you see him on at S wad? Is he a high priority on OSU's junior list? Do you think Illinois only leads because they're his best early offer?

Sorry I didn't see this until now...
Some kids put a lot of stock in who offers/contacts first...other do not. I don't know as far as Mason goes but you can rest assured that I am big believer that Zook is going to have some success in Ohio in 2009 and Mason just might be one of those kids.
I see him at safety in college...no doubt about it. Ursuline had a sophmore RB who might have been even better than Mason. |
