Ben Mason, a former standout at Newtown High School and the University of Michigan, and who was drafted by the Baltimore Ravens, has joined the New England Patriots’ practice squad.

According to the Patriots’ website, patriots.com, “Mason, 22, was drafted by Baltimore in the fifth-round (184th overall) of the 2021 NFL Draft out of Michigan. The 6-foot-3, 256-pounder was a two-time Michigan Toughest Player of the Year Award winner (2017 and 2019) while in school after playing on defense and offense during his career.”

The Ravens released Mason on August 31, and the Patriots picked him up the next day.

Mason could not be reached for comment.
