I doubt it. If he has his degree it's time for him to try to make some money in the NFL. He's a great blocker, hard runner, and can catch passes out of the backfield. He seems like a tremendous teammate as well. We were blessed to have JPM for the time we did.

I don't think he stays either. He will make an NFL team and shouldn't risk injury in another year of college.

For what reason would he stay? It's not like he wasn't playing due to Gibbs. Plus he has a family to support now.
Is he projected to make an NFL roster? I would love to have him back, but would be surprised if he gets an opportunity better than undrafted practice player with hopes of working his way onto an NFL roster for a special teams spot. But I am certainly not tuned into NFL draft stocks.

Mason was projected to make one in 2018 once he graduated. Either as an UDFA or late round draft pick. He's a big back who has some wiggle and can catch out of hte backfield. Since fullbacks are basically a dying breed a guy like mason fills that slot on the roster as a 3rd runningback.

Mason is the consummate borderline NFL back. He could go anywhere from the 5th round of the draft to UDFA and the practice squad. Either of those gives him a paycheck for his growing family. If he shows out at Pro Day, I could easily see a team taking a late round flyer on him.
