" UMass also provided a top-notch education. Cruz knew he had to earn his degree before moving on with his career. “My mother wouldn’t have it any other way,” he says. “She told me I wasn’t leaving that place until I came home with that piece of paper.”

On the field, UMass’s football team gave Cruz the chance to play the position he felt was right for him. He says, “[UMass] wanted me to play wide receiver. Every other school was looking at me as a defensive back.” From his first official visit, he got along well with his teammates and coaches. “Guys just took me in,” Cruz says. “I felt like I was already attending the school.”
