Mason Loftis

❝Mason — 4.62 forty + 1.65 ten-yard split + 7.05 three-cone is the trio recruiters cross-reference when they're separating high-motor edges from straight-line speed guys. Your 1.65 split is the one that pops on tape: that's first-step explosion off the snap, and at 188 lb playing as a stand-up DE you turn that into a sack threat any time the tackle's late. The forty has dropped 0.43s since freshman year, well above the league-average improvement curve, and the broad-jump arc (96 → 116) tracks tightly with the bench progression. What I'd flag for the next 6 weeks: shuttle is at 4.42 and getting it under 4.35 opens up D1 mid-major conversations for edge rushers — that's the change-of-direction metric line coaches grade for when they're projecting you into a true 4-3 DE role. The Combine prep program is week 4 day 1 right now; the depth-jump → broad jump complex on day 2 is the one I want you on tape with this week. Throws season this spring will keep the posterior-chain output high, so don't pull lifts back to make room for it — Coach Reeves and I are sync'd on volume.

Mason is a Class of 2027 defensive end from Plano, TX who just finished his junior season. He's a stand-up edge with a 4.62 forty, a 1.65 ten-yard split, and a 7.05 three-cone — all posted on the same NLA combine day in early June and all in the D1 benchmark band for the position. The full progression from a 5.05 forty as a freshman to today's verified mark is visible in the metrics below, with every single result coach-entered through Plan Set Goal's session-summary flow. Off the field he throws shot put and discus for the track team in the spring, which is the obvious tell for the rotational power and first-step explosiveness he brings off the edge. His high-school coaches credit a year-round strength block — paused-rep bench, trap-bar deadlifts, and weighted box jumps — for the broad-jump gain from 96 inches to 116. He's looking at programs that want a high-motor pass rusher who can set the edge against the run.
