Summary
Hezekiah Masses is an instinctive, ball-hawking cornerback who blossomed into one of the nation's leaders in passes defended after transferring to Cal. Known for his ability to anticipate routes, he frequently jumps passing lanes to create turnovers. While he lacks elite size, Masses is an aggressive defender who excels in press-man coverage and has the closing speed to shut down shallow and intermediate routes.

Raiders' Hezekiah Masses: Headed to Las Vegas
The Raiders selected Masses in the fifth round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 175th overall.
Masses played three seasons of his four-year college career at FIU before transferring to Cal as a senior, where he racked up 47 tackles (one for loss), 13 pass deflections and five interceptions. He clearly has skills playing the ball, but he has a slender frame at 6-foot-1, 179 pounds and likely needs to bulk up. As a result of the frame, he struggles to get off blocks at times and isn't the most consistent tackler. Moses is likely bound for a depth role in 2026 and will likely be expected to contribute on special teams as a rookie while he adds to his frame.
