I received this updated UMass Pro Day information. I does not seem to be on the UMass website as of 7:30 AM.

UMASS FOOTBALL PRO DAY ON THURSDAY, March 25

CONTACT – Jason Yellin 413-687-1756 (jyellin@admin.umass.edu)

AMHERST, Mass. -- All 32 NFL teams are expected to be in attendance at UMass Football Pro Day on Thursday, March 25. More than a dozen UMass seniors and several other area college seniors will compete in agility, strength and combine style drills. The portion open to the media starts at 11 a.m., at McGuirk Alumni Stadium. It will run for roughly 90 minutes.

Among the players who will be on hand is All-American offensive lineman Vladimir Ducasse, who is projected by most outlets as a top 50 selection in the NFL Draft. Also gaining high interest are fullback Chris Zardas, safety Jeromy Miles and wide receiver Victor Cruz.

These players will be available or interviews following the pro day activities on the field.

$500 to Mott Children's hospital while entering the stadium will get you a sideline pass to the Michigan-UMass game.

From the front page of Keeper's College Football Ratings:

Note of interest: After all the games have been played, William & Mary stand alone in Division I for positive net yardage in every game. Good bet for FCS co-favorite in 2010.
