Jeron Mastrud is a well-balanced tight end for Kansas State who can block and provide a large target in the red zone. As a freshman he started nine games and caught 17 passes for 235 yards, but more importantly he helped pave the way for a decent ground game. As a sophomore Mastrud continued to improve his blocking and pass catching skills. On the year he caught 30 passes for 316 yards. It was not until 2008 when Mastrud really became a big receiving threat, especially in the end zone. For a 6-6, 253 pound tight end, his usefulness in the red zone and on third down is obvious. He has good hands and should be a consistent receiving threat when given the opportunity. In 2008 Mastrud ended the season catching 38 passes for 435 yards and two scores. In 2009, the tight end caught 21 catches for 233 yards and a touchdown and was named to First Team All-Big 12 Honors. Mastrud is unselfish, classy and has a service oriented approach to game and life. He is a much better pass catcher than his numbers indicate and he is a fine blocker. Mastrud can do it all and will be a good mid-round selection for some NFL team. Mastrud wore the featured Nike gloves during the 2009 season. He has signed both gloves "Game Worn" and his #85 is written on the wristband of each glove. Awesome!
