Princeton University, fall 2015

An offensive lineman’s job is largely anonymous — clearing a path for a running back or giving the quarterback enough time to zip a pass downfield. When linemen are praised, they’re praised as a unit. When a lineman is called out by name, it’s often because he was caught holding or forgot the snap count. As Princeton tackle Mason Darrow ’17 puts it, “I’m used to not really getting mentioned, unless I screw up royally.” That changed dramatically on Sept. 15, the day before the start of fall classes, when Darrow publicly came out as gay in a story published by Outsports, an online magazine that covers LGBT issues in athletics. Suddenly, he was the most recognizable person on a roster of 120.
