Given that it wasn’t that long ago, you have to wonder if Mason still finds things a touch weird.
McCormick takes humble & hardwork ethic into first NFL season with Steelers
Hours after helping coach the next generation of young South Dakota football stars at the Jackrabbit Former Players Association SDSU Youth Football Camp, Sioux Falls native Mason McCormick was ringside at at the Sanford Pentagon supporting another South Dakota native, Webster’s Logan Storley, during his fight at PFL 6.
You have to wonder if it’s all still a little surreal for Mason since it wasn’t all that long ago the Roosevelt and South Dakota State alum was one of the kids in those kind of camps.
Mason rose from an under recruited first team all-state lineman as a Roughrider when he arrived on campus in 2018 to eventual stalwart at guard who started his last 57 straight games, became a two-time All-American, and helped anchor the offensive line that paved the way for consecutive FCS National Championships.
It also led to him being the highest SDSU player selected in this year’s NFL Draft going in the fourth round to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
McCormick’s attitude as he begins his NFL career really isn’t any different than the same, humble and hard working one he had when he began his college career.
Mason reports with the rest of Pittsburgh’s players to Steelers training camp in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, on July 24th.
