Expert Analysis

The 6′ 225 lbs LB out of Verona would be a steal for a FCS or D2 level program. He was the QB of the defense in 2022. He is a high IQ player who puts himself in position to make plays. A team that adds Mason to the middle of their defense will be getting a difference maker.

We wrap up Part One with the standout 6′ 220 lbs ILB out of Verona. I am most impressed by the senior’s instincts for the position. He is so quick to diagnose plays. He reads the flow of plays, sees the sneakier plays like screens as they develop. The senior also seems to always have proper leverage as he attacks downhill. Armstrong also sets himself apart by being a three down LB. As good as he is playing downhill, you can also rely on him to cover a zone. The big man moves well side to side and he reads the QB’s eyes and baits them into bad throws. He is the leader of a defense that allowed 8.9 points per game. Don’t sleep on this kid.

Mason was the top 2023 prospect in the matchup. He is one of the best uncommitted LBs in the state, and at 6’1″ 220 lbs he has the size to be able to play at a high level.
He also the play style to e able to hold up at a D2-D1 level. Mason is a physical, downhill defender. He impressed me most with his ability to shed blocks. They were keying on him all night long, and he fought through blocks play after play to get around the ball. I was very impressed with him presnap as well. He completely personified the idea of QB of the defense. Mason made the calls, knew where everyone should line up, and was calling out things to watch for presnap.
Armstrong was also reliable sideline to sideline in pursuit, and when he got there he packed a punch. It was an impressive game for the senior ILB. It was a good representation of his talents.
