Mason Cole takes tour and reflects

East Lake 2014 OT, Mason Cole has been on the BCP recruiting radar since his freshman season. Recently, Cole took a few college visits to compete at some camps and take some college campus tours.

Cole started at Clemson, “Had a real good time and loved the campus, facilities and the area. It had a real college town feal. And I really liked the coaches” Said Cole.

Mason then traveled to South Caroilina for a campus tour. Cole said he met with the South Carolina coaching staff all day. “It was a little different than Clemson cause it was more in the city but the campus and facilities were real nice.”

Stanford was the next stop for Mason Cole, clear cross the map.The Stanford visit was a padded camp. Cole said he performed well and the offensive line coaches loved him. Cole left Stanford with a verbal scholarship offer. Coles said, “I loved everything about it, campus was real nice just a little smaller.”

The last stop was to the land of the Trojans. Cole camped at USC for two days and spent those days with Monte Kiffin, DC and Coach Cregg, offensive line coach. Cole stated that he got a glimps of the new athletic building, “That is like nothing I’ve ever seen before. Campus was great and loved the coaches there from Monte to Coach Cregg, to their strength coach, to Lane Kiffin. And I loved the weather over there[laughter]!” Cole also received an offer from USC at the conclusion of that camp.
