In other news, Matty V reports (see link above) that Kellen Pagel will probably not return to football because of his concussion syndrome. He may play baseball for the Minutemen. Coach Molnar also has offered to have him join the UMass football staff as a student assistant.

Ryan Carter will graduate and forego his senior season with UMass.

In addition, as already been reported, several UMass players will seek to transfer: Ryan Delaire, John Wallace, Greg Hilliard, Brian Dowling and Jamar Smith.
