Derek Mason ain’t playing around. Despite inheriting a defense stocked with blue chip recruits, Mason has gone to work in the portal to upgrade the talent on his side of the ball.
It started when the Tigers added Northwestern pass rusher Eku Leota back in January. Then they struck it big by snagging one of the top cornerback transfers in Dreshun Miller from West Virginia. Last week, Auburn added UAB nose tackle Tony Fair and SEMO safety Bydarrius Knighten. Earlier this week, Mason reunited with his former star recruit Donovan Kaufman. Today, he’s at it again, this time landing Kansas defensive line transfer Marcus Harris.
