Much Anticipated Signing

So many kids take signing and make it into a big thing. They do it on television, in front of reports, and so on. In my mind it is a big thing. These kids have put time and energy into their craft and have made the grades to have the opportunity to have college paid for. That in itself is an immense accomplishment, one that they should be proud of and something that should be celebrated.

This was the very much the case for Hutson Mason, a kid I profiled mid season. Mason, who is the record setting quarterback out of Lassiter high school, actually announced his decision on his reality show "The Ride." Hutson set the Georgia High School record for 4,560 passing yards and 54 touchdown passes. The record was one that did not go unheard. Mason, a kid who had zero division I scholarships at the beginning of the season and a three star rating, ended up with 9 offers the biggest coming from UGA who he committed with.

The biggest thing I saw in Hutson's game was his ability to make quick decision and make them accurately. In my mind any player that puts up those kinds of numbers is deserving of some looks. I have also seen Hutson at camps that showed he is not just a system quarterback. He can drop back from under center and complete the same kinds of throws. I believe he will be a very good quarterback. We will just see if it is the right fit for him behind two freshman quarterbacks.....
