To come out of the Football Championships Subdivision and reach the NFL, there certainly has to be a sense of toughness from an offensive lineman. New Pittsburgh Steelers offensive lineman Mason McCormick has that trait in abundance.
Coming out of South Dakota State to be the Steelers’ No. 119 overall pick in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft Saturday, McCormick brings a real edge to the game in the trenches. He looks the part with great offensive lineman aesthetics, including an old-school neck roll, and his play does the talking.
That trait alone is what impressed SDSU head coach Jimmy Rogers the most during his time coaching McCormick and has him believing he’ll one day be a starter in the NFL.
