Summary

Mason Richman is from Leawood, KS and joined the Hawkeyes in the recruiting class of 2020. He enrolled early in that spring, where he and his fellow enrollees were hit with the end of the world pandemic situation, which added a unique twist to the start of Mason's career. Mason discusses his journey through the Iowa football program, highlighting the challenges and triumphs he faced during his time with the team. From gaining 60 pounds to adapting to coaching changes and overcoming adversity, Mason shares insights on his growth both on and off the field. The conversation delves into the impact of COVID-19 on his early career, his relationship with Coach Kirk Ferentz, the dynamics within the offensive line room, and the preparation for his upcoming Pro Day. Tune in for a candid, in-depth look at what it's like to be a young offensive lineman thrown into the fire and coming out stronger on the other side.
