Darren Thellen was named the UMass Senior Male athlete of the year.

The entire football senior class was named  Inspirational Male Athletes of the Year for " Despite being unable to qualify for the NCAA Playoffs or CAA Championship as juniors and not eligible to participate for the Football Bow Subdivision (FBS) postseason in 2012 as seniors, the UMass football senior class played with heart, passion and desire while at the same time they worked to build a strong foundation for the FBS era. Honoring the class with the Inspirational Male Athletes of the Year award symbolized the senior class' dedication to working within the highest ideals of the University and its choice to stay at the University despite not being able to play in the postseason for two years."
