QB Mason picks Cats

For as long as he can remember, Deaunte Mason has wanted to be a major college quarterback.

Since Kentucky was willing to give him that chance, the Nashville standout decided to verbally commit to UK.

"Kentucky wants me at quarterback. That is what I have wanted to do all life. It is a dream come true," said the 6-4, 215-pound Mason.

It's great to get another talented tall QB signed but unless Mason really shines, I think Pulley may have the job sewed up for a couple of years.

Pulley should have learned a lot this year. Mason is tall and athletic, and that does sound like a great combination for a quarterback. So, it definitely would be a plus to have him as a back-up next year.

In the article it says that the colleges recruiting him wanted him only as an athlete which I don't completely understand. I know some teams, even pro teams draft players that haven't even played football (Bob Hayes/Cowboys) and made them stars but to ignore a top level QB doesn't show much respect. Hopefully as Trueblue said, "it will be good to have him as a backup" which will allow him to learn the system as well.
