Mekhi Mason Brings Explosive Heat | College Basketball News

Kansas State’s defense just got a fiery upgrade with the arrival of Mekhi Mason, a transfer from Syracuse and Louisiana Tech who’s poised to be a co-starter and special teams standout. With one year of eligibility left, Mason brings explosive, aggressive energy — described as a “violent player who just goes when he triggers.” After shining at Louisiana Tech with 68 tackles, 14.5 TFLs, and 3.5 sacks last season, he earned second-team All-Conference USA honors and Defensive Player of the Week honors for a monster performance. Coaches rave about his relentless mindset and versatility — he can play inside or outside, even cover receivers — while also aiming to lead the linebacker corps. Fuelled by a chip on his shoulder, Mason is targeting first-team All-Conference and the Butkus Award, all while hungry to dominate every snap and help KSU reach the College Football Playoff.
