National Championship Friday--12/18/09

UMass gets three transfers from Northeastern. I blogged yesterday about LB Chad Hunte.

Also joining the Minutemen will be All-CAA and All-New England RB John Griffin. He will be joined by 6-5 300 pd OL Greg Niland who started 21 games for Huskies in the last two years. Pre-season All-American Nate Thellan is reported to be leaning towards UMass.

Matty V. also says UMass is in the running for Hofstra DE Deron Mayo.

Some images here.

More than 60 colleges have contacted Northeastern about transfers.
