The official visit of TiJaun Mason to the State of New Jersey in mid January made his decision an easy one when Defensive Line Coach Shane Burnham convinced him he could come in and play right away as reported by Scout. The national recruiting service has the lean and lanky Mason their #1 weak side defensive end in all of Volunteerland.
The TiJaun Mason Profile:
6’ 6” - 205 lbs. - 5.1 (40 yd.) - Weakside Defensive End
Scout : #1 TN DE - #135 Nat’l WDE
24 ‘ 7 : #36 overall TN - #76 Nat’l WDE
Rivals: # 31 TN - unranked nationally
Consensus 3 star weak side defensive end
Mason canceled his only other planned official visit, to Toledo, after verbally committing to Rutgers following his official visit.
