About Mason
Expert Analysis
Hayden Lindquist | Prep Redzone Scout
Another verified Dawson-Boyd standout with a legit frame, Bothun was hurt most of last season, but when he finally came back in Week 7, he made a massive impact. A lot of his tape is as a hybrid DB/LB, which is a role he fits into well. He’s plenty adept as both a run stopper and a true DB in pass coverage. When he plays in the box, Bothun does a great job of screaming downhill and provides a legit run-stopping threat. He can create chaos in the backfield, especially when sent on a blitz, which he’s been able to time up well several times on his tape. He’s got a nose for the ball when he drops back into coverage, and sees a lot of success in zone defenses. Keep an eye out for Bothun next year; he looks like a prospect who can continue to do big things, especially with a full season.
