Alright, guys, let’s talk about Mason Rudolph. I got interested in where this guy played college ball, so I started digging around.
Research Process
First off, I typed “Mason Rudolph college” into the search bar. Got a bunch of results, but the ones that stood out were from Wikipedia and some sports statistics sites.
From there, I learned his full name is Brett Mason Rudolph III. Sounds like a serious dude, right? Born in ’95, he’s now playing for the Tennessee Titans in the NFL. But before all that, he was a college football quarterback.
The Key Findings
So, where did he play? Oklahoma State Cowboys! That’s the answer. He was there for a while, too, not just a year or two. He was their starter for three years. That’s a lot of games and a lot of pressure.
- He was named after his father and granddad.
- He started his college career in 2014.
- He was a third-string quarterback at the beginning.
- He became the starter after two other guys got injured. That’s how it goes sometimes, right? You gotta be ready when your number’s called.
- He’s a big guy, too. 6’5″ and 230 pounds. You can see why he’s a quarterback.
More Details
I also found out he won the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. That’s a pretty big deal for a college quarterback, it shows he had some serious skills. And, get this, he was 7th in the Heisman voting in 2017. That means he was one of the best players in the whole country.
Later on, I found out that he went to the NFL Scouting Combine, doing most of the drills but skipping a couple like the bench press. He was drafted in the 3rd round, which is no small feat.
Wrapping it up
So yeah, Mason Rudolph played for Oklahoma State. And he wasn’t just some benchwarmer. He was a star player, leading the team and winning awards. It’s always interesting to see where these NFL guys started out. It makes you appreciate their journey even more. What’s cool is that he’s a family guy and a Christian. So that is something about him. I love to look up where football players are from, so I thought I’d share this with y’all.
That’s all I have for today. Catch you guys later!
