After FSCC Mason has gone on to pitch at Abilene Christian University. Head Coach John Hill
III shared his thoughts on Aaron Mason:
"He was a really enjoyable kid to be around and coach. When it was his time to get the ball however, his entire demeanor changed. He was a competitor, and I always felt comfortable handing him the ball, and not expecting it back. His 2013 year was special; his entire time here was special. Aaron Mason was one of a kind when it comes to pitcher, and I am incredibly grateful that I had the opportunity to coach him"
