North DeSoto Middle School (NDMS) standout quarterback Mason was selected among the nation’s elite to compete at the esteemed Football University (FBU) Top Gun Showcase, held June 20–22 in Naples, Florida.

The invite-only Showcase is the most competitive three-day national event for middle and high school players, designed to test position-specific skills and athletic performance.

Mason joined approximately 60 quarterbacks from across the country in the Class of 2030 division, demonstrating his talent against top-tier competition .

During the event, athletes participated in a blend of drills including 1-on-1, 4-on-3, run game, and 7-on-7 sessions, guided by coaches with combined NFL and NCAA experience. National evaluators from organizations such as 247Sports, the UC Report, and QB Hit List were present, providing visibility to thousands of college programs.

The FBU Top Gun Showcase not only offers elite training but also serves as a springboard to future opportunities: awards include invitations to marquee events like the Navy National Combine, the FBU Freshman All‑American Bowl, and the UA Next 8th Grade Game.

Mason’s invitation and participation highlight his exceptional ability and potential. The Class of 2030 division reportedly sold out, underscoring the level of competition at the Showcase.

Congratulations to Mason for representing NDMS and Claiborne Parish on this national stage. The community looks forward to watching his continued growth and future football successes.
