Chadron State College Athletic Hall of Fame
He undoubtedly ranks as one of Chadron State’s all-time outstanding offensive linemen. He was 6-foot-4, 220 pounds and moved well. He was a two-time all-district selection, earned NAIA second-team All-American honors in 1977 and was a Kodak first-team All-American as a senior in 1978, when the Eagles won the Boot Hill Bowl and he provided protection for quarterback Brad Fults’ record-setting season.
Jerry Welch, a starting offensive guard on Arkansas’ national championship team in 1964 and the Eagles’ coach Mastney’s senior year, called him “as good a combination pass and run blocker as I have ever seen.” After completing his career, he signed a free agent contract with the Buffalo Bills. A native of Clarkson, Mastny is a paramedic with the fire department in Shreveport, La.
