Michigan fullback Ben Mason, how would one describe him? Let’s leave it to ESPN’s Chris Fowler, who once described Mason in this way.
“Big mohawk fella, toughest guy on the team.”
That was a common phrase dished Mason’s way throughout his career at Michigan, ‘toughest guy on the team’.
There must have been something to it, and the film was indicative of what his peers said about him. Mason embraced physicality and brute force. Some guys just like carnage, and Mason is that guy on the gridiron.
Mason’s numbers declined at Michigan once offensive coordinator Josh Gattis came into the fold and phased out the importance of a fullback or H-back, but Mason still made his presence known when he was on the field the past couple of seasons.
