Bleacher Report named Big Ben Mason as a hidden gem for Michigan football.
Where Mason fits, however, is a mystery.
In High School, Ben was expected to turn his defensive skill set as a linebacker into a collegiate scholarship. Michigan football had a different plan for the big man at fullback, which he was fine with.
“I just like football, I like hitting people,” Ben Mason said in an interview last summer.
Ben excelled at the position, clearing the path for Karan Higdon.
“That’s Ben Mason — he’s a wrecking ball,” Higdon expressed with a smile.
