Looks like a pretty good high school player, but I don't see much special that would make me think he's a college athlete. He's really small. Do you know this kid personally or something? Cuz I really doubt he'll be on the Ducks' radar.

Hmmm... The most disappointing Oregon recruiting miss I can think of that came from North Douglas was Troy Polamolu.

This kid is no TP.

Polamalu didn't go to North Douglas. He went to plain old Douglas, same as Bidwell.

He's playing at the 2A level against teams that don't really have any real college-level kids. He's more than likely a small-college player at best, like at a Western Oregon or Lewis and Clark level.

As someone who has lined up against two nfl small school players from Oregon in Dante Rosario (Dayton) and Kevin Boss (Philomath) I wouldn't be so quick to knock the small school kids. Justin Hubbard at Amity in the early 2000s was a stud running back. That said, in watching film of Rosario (no way did I think that Boss would be an nfl TE eventually as bball was his sport) the guy would line up 9 yards off the ball at safety and beat the linebackers to the hole.

If the kid comes to the Oregon camp this year and stands out, then his chances will improve. Rosario made his mark at the camp and thats where coaches will find those diamonds in the rough.

I don't think it is the small school thing. I think it is the kid looks like he is smaller than Morgan Flint. Size does matter, Boss and Rosario are both very large and developed at there position.
YOU CANT TEACH SIZE!
That being said I really hope the kid comes and tries to walk on.

Well, Dayton has consistently put out quality players...Some of the other schools in the league also contributed a quality player on occasion. But, all in all, Dayton was and always has been the class of the league...And everyone of the opponents learned to live with it...That not only applied to Football, but also Basketball...
Dewey Sullivan had ALOT to do with the success of the FB program....He WAS Dayton Football...

The small schools do put out some quality players, no doubt..They are just few and far between...

My kids go to school with Mason. He is very fun to watch, tough kid, but will never play D1--he is tiny.

I have watched Mason play and he is a very good running back with a great center and extremely quick. He has a lot of heart and is a heady player. That being said, defense is where he really shines. Would be a great corner. He is small has nose for the ball and great hops
