Next Up from New Mexico: Mason Jr. Turning Heads Nationwide

The son of former New Mexico State guard and longtime coaching staff member Brandon Mason Sr., the younger Mason spent years as a ball boy in the Pit — firing up halftime three-pointers in front of thousands of fans. Now those same shots are dropping in front of college coaches from across the country — and dropping when it matters most.

Pro Level Media Mag was on the ground in Las Vegas at the Vegas Elite Invitational, and Mason Jr. delivered. The Class of 2027 standout out of ABC Prep put together an impressive all-around performance — impacting the game on both ends of the court, making big plays when his team needed them most, and capping it off with a clutch game-winner. That’s not just talent. That’s character.

At 6’7″ with 19 Division I offers and the #1 ranking in New Mexico, Mason Jr. is a four-level scorer with the length, athleticism, and defensive instincts to impact games on both ends. Scholarship offers have come in from Arizona State, Missouri, Washington, Cincinnati, TCU, UNLV, Xavier, and several others. The recruitment is heating up — and he’s only a sophomore. The best is still ahead.
