With incumbent starting B-Back and 1,000-yard rusher Kirvonte Benson officially out for the season, the age of redshirt freshman Jordan Mason has begun much earlier than expected. A 6-foot-1 back out of Gallatin, TN, Mason managed to overtake former backup Jerry Howard during the spring. He made his college debut in week one against Alcorn State and looked very solid once again during limited action versus USF, which leads me to believe that he’s ready for the job. It’s been said before and it’ll be said again: if the 2018 Yellow Jackets had to suffer a season-ending injury at any position, we should be glad it’s one like B-Back with no fewer than two very capable backups.
