50. Mason Jones

Mason Jones is in the thick of the conversation for SEC Player of the Year. But getting to that point hasn’t been easy. In this episode, we talk with him about why he was overshadowed by his brother and sister—who would go on to win a national title at Duke and set assist records at Texas A&M, respectively. Mason tells us about why he struggled with weight as a kid, not getting major college offers and going the JUCO route. Now he’s setting records and leading Arkansas in scoring … and he’s not living in anyone’s shadow.
