Mason Brown, Ryan Palmer Confirm College Commitments
By: Jared Barton
Two members of the North Allegheny boys’ lacrosse team made their college selections official on National Signing Day Wednesday.
Senior Mason Brown and Ryan Palmer inked their commitments to Point Park and Florida Southern, respectively.
Brown first committed to Point Park back in July, as he intends to follow his older brother Kaden to PPU.
Brown was a sparkplug for the Tigers throughout the season, making plays on both ends of the field. He finished second on the team in scoring with 31 goals in 2026. His total varsity goal count currently sits at 36. Additionally, Brown was named All-WPIAL, first-team All-Section and second-team All-MSLA.
Brown is a multi-sport athlete, also playing wide receiver and linebacker for the NA Football team. He took home first-team Big 56 All-Conference laurels at linebacker last week. Brown has been the Tigers’ most complete player this season, racking up 64 tackles, including five for loss, three interceptions and a forced fumble. This is Brown’s second Big 56 honor, after taking home second-team at-large honors for wide receiver in 2025. Brown has 31 catches as a receiver for 427 yards and three scores. He also tossed a 26-yard touchdown pass.

Palmer committed to Florida Southern in August. He was one of the long pole leaders for the squad in the spring, making solid defensive contributions last season. He was named All-WPIAL and first-team All-Section Player for his efforts, while garnering honorable mention All-MSLA laurels as a defender.
