Ardrey Kell’s Mason Veal has grown into standout player

Posted Aug 27, 2014
Ardrey Kell High offensive lineman Mason Veal was all-state as a junior, has committed to play college football at North Carolina and ESPN ranks him a four-star (out of five) national recruit. In North Carolina, he’s the state’s No. 16 overall college prospect. Veal has certainly evolved from an awkward seventh-grader who disliked football. “My original sport was baseball,” said Veal, now a dominating 6-foot-6, 290-pound senior left tackle. “I thought I was the next Mark McGwire."
