Vanderbilt football continued to rank among the national leaders in graduation rates, as every Commodore who has completed his eligibility under Mason has earned an undergraduate degree. Vanderbilt football student-athletes teamed with Nashville-area businesses as part of the athletic department’s comprehensive summer internship program. Meanwhile, several Commodore players participated in study abroad programs in the summer, with six players venturing to Australia in May, including likely starters LaDarius Wiley and Josh Smith. In 2016, Mason guided Vanderbilt to its eighth postseason appearance at the Camping World Independence Bowl. The Commodores finished the regular season 6-6, including four wins in their final six games. The season featured marquee SEC victories over Georgia, Ole Miss and Tennessee. The Commodores closed the regular season by scoring a combined 83 points in wins over the Rebels and Volunteers. Their 45 points against Tennessee marked the program’s most in SEC play since 1971. Under Mason, Commodore student-athletes are performing well on and off the football field. In 2017, running back Ralph Webb concluded his career as the leading rusher in school history and the seventh-leading rusher in SEC history. Currently with the New England Patriots, Webb set a bushel of school single and career records, including 4,173 rushing yards, 931 rush at- tempts and 32 rushing touchdowns. In 2016, inside linebacker Zach Cunningham became Vanderbilt's first consensus All-American in more than three decades. The redshirt junior swept first-team honors from every prominent outlet in the nation. Cunningham's final accolade came when the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) selected him to its First Team All-America Defense. Cunningham now starts at linebacker with Houston after the Texans ACCEPTING CONGRATULATIONS selected him No. 57 overall in the 2017 NFL Draft.

Ah You and inside linebackers coach Chris Marve. Those changes helped Mason guide back-to- back improvement in the Commodores in 2015-16, with keen observers of college football seeing more progress ahead. Since arriving on campus, Mason has focused on developing men of character and integrity with the football team. Five former Commodore football players have been accepted into the Vanderbilt Medical School in the last two years. In the last three calendar years, the team has nearly 165 SEC Academic Honor Roll recipients and more than 75 Dean's List honorees. Mason’s Commodores continue to serve as the SEC leader in the classroom. Vanderbilt football finished third nationally with a 993 APR (Academic Progress Rate) score in 2017, the fourth straight year it has topped the SEC in the calculation.

Started in 2014 within the football team, the internship program has been expanded to other Vanderbilt squads, providing excellent work experience opportunities for student-athletes. Mason became Vanderbilt's 28th head coach in January 2014, coming to Nashville after serving as associate head coach and Willie Shaw Director of Defense for the 2013 Pacific-12 champion Stanford Cardinal. Mason became defensive coordinator at Stanford in 2011, after helping the Cardinal to a pair of Rose Bowl appearances and consecutive Pac-12 titles in 2012-13. Mason's defensive units at Stanford were considered among the nation's elite. Under Mason, the Cardinal ranked among the NCAA Top 15 in defensive efficiency for three consecutive years. In 2013 while facing seven ranked opponents and one of the na- tion's toughest schedules, the Stanford defense ranked third in the NCAA in rushing defense (89.4 yards), 10th in scoring defense (19.0 points) and 16th in total offense (343.1 yards).
