Auburn junior running back Tre Mason will hold a 1 p.m. press conference today to discuss his future on whether he'll stay on the Plains for his senior season or declare early for the NFL Draft.

After Monday's BCS National Championship Game loss to No. 1 Florida State, Mason said he was unsure of what he'd do.

“Emotions are everywhere right now, that’s not really what’s going through my head right now,” Mason said. “That decision will probably come later on, but right now I’m not thinking of that.”

Mason had a record-breaking season for Auburn, rushing for 1,816 rushing yards and 23 touchdowns, snapping Auburn legend Bo Jackson’s 1985 single-season record 1,786 rushing yards.

ESPN's NFL Draft expert Todd McShay said last week that he believed Mason would be a possible third-round pick this season.

“I don’t if he’s a first- or second-round pick, he might be a third-round pick, and I don’t know if coming back or leaving early is going to make a big difference in that,” McShay said. “I’ve been really impressed with his vision and the way he’s able to accelerate off his initial cut. I think in both areas he’s improved upon this year. He’s running hard and really stepped up in big games.”
