Tight end Zaccheus Mason will sign with Ole Miss, the standout from Christ Presbyterian Academy in Nashville told the News Sentinel via text message Sunday.
The 6-foot-5, 250-pounder had been considering Tennessee, having taken an official visit to Knoxville on Jan. 16. Mason visited Ole Miss on Jan. 23.
“I enjoyed Ole Miss a lot more,” Mason said.
Mason was a late addition onto the football recruiting scene. Also a basketball standout, Mason fielded several scholarship offers from smaller schools to play basketball.
Following standout seasons on the football field as a junior and senior, Mason decided to pursue football instead of basketball.
