Expert Analysis
Mark Johnson | Prep Redzone Scout
Next up we have the versatile OLB/S hybrid athlete out of Libertyville. Mason checked in at 6′ 182 lbs in River Falls and looked the part of that hybrid position that more and more teams at the next level are using. I went to his tape to learn more and came away even more of a fan. Coaches need to check him out. He flies around the front seven at 100 mph. He is quick to read and react against the run and triggers downhill like he was shot out of a cannon. When he gets to the ball carrier, Mason drops the hammer on kids. He knows how to run his feet through contact and always ends forward progression on contact. His burst and timing make him a very effective blitzed as well. Give this kid a look.

Mason Strader is a hybrid player that most likely projects to be a linebacker at the next level. He is a long physical player that does a lot for Libertyville’s defense. His speed at the linebacker position will be what sets him apart. He was active this year with 75 tackles as a junior. Strader is also a guy that has been busy with game-day visits stopping by multiple schools this season.
