Mason Foster Scouting Report

Mason Foster was one of a few freshmen to see action for Washington in 2007. He ended up starting four games, mostly at outside linebacker. Foster tallied 25 tackles and five of those were for a loss. The following year Foster was a full-time starter and did a great job, leading the team with 105 tackles including 12.0 tackles-for-loss. Foster continued his success as an upperclassman and ended up tallying 85 tackles and three interceptions.

Foster has been a staple in the middle of the defense for three years and is once again leading the way in 2010. Through seven games, Foster has tallied an impressive 82 tackles and continues to put pressure on the opposing quarterback. He has even forced two fumbles already this season. The Huskies' defense has struggled at times containing players like Nebraska's Taylor Martinez, but that is not entirely Foster's fault.

Foster has flown under the radar for the most part despite his impressive collegiate career. The NFL will take notice though and it would be surprising if he fell past the third round. With some good workouts, Foster could be one of the top outside linebackers in this class and work his way into the first or second round.
