Vanderbilt is down two players after CB Paris Head and RB Brian Kimbrow have left the team.
Kimbrow has been suspended since September 22 for conduct detrimental to the team. When he was suspended, Mason declined to reveal the reason but said that one player was not bigger than the team.
"He has not been with us for a month (for practices or team activities), but he has come to say hello and ask for some advice on some things," " Mason said Wednesday via The Tennesseean.
Head simply chose to focus on school, Mason said, citing philosophical differences.
"Paris came here under one coach and one philosophy (James Franklin) and inherited another philosophy, so that paradigm shift was a little tough on him," Mason said. "He has chosen just to pursue his degree. There were no conduct issues or anything else with Paris. It was his decision, but we just came to a mutual understanding when we talked about it after the Georgia game (on Oct. 4)."
Kimbrow was productive as a rusher in his first two seasons. He had 66 carries for 413 yards in 2012 and 81 carries for 341 yards in 2013. This season, he had one carry for -6 yards.
Head, a sophomore, started three games for Vanderbilt in his career. He's played in four games this season and has 11 total tackles.
