Missouri State transfer tight end Lance Mason is reportedly considering official visits to Wisconsin, Cal, and Oklahoma, as per 247Sports. Wisconsin is seeking to enhance its tight end position following the departure of Tanner Koziol, with limited production from returning players Tucker Ashcraft and J.T. Seagreaves.
Mason, a three-star transfer recruit, excelled in his junior year at Missouri State with 34 catches, 590 receiving yards, and six touchdowns, earning him second-team all-conference honors and the highest PFF receiving grade among FCS tight ends. He is ranked as the No. 39 tight end in the portal.
Wisconsin faces competition from Oklahoma, which is experiencing a notable transfer cycle under head coach Brent Venables as they transition to their second season in the SEC. With a shift to a pro-style scheme under new coordinator Jeff Grimes, Mason could potentially provide the Badgers with the offensive production they seek at the tight end position.
