Andre's UMass bio.
Andre is one of the few UMass seniors, so he'll be the leader of the Minutemen defense as well as one of it's leading tacklers. At 6-2 240 he has FBS size. With a young and fairly light DL, the two MLB's in the the 3-4 are going to have to be the run-stoppers. If the 3-4 is going to work, the defense needs some TFL and more stops around the line of scrimmage. Last year the defense had 46-133 in TFL; opponents went 80-203.

Dan has observations from the first day of UMass camp.
Dan also has Whipple and the team are pleased to get working.
He also has Todd Stafford moves to TE. At 6-7 250 he has an NFL-sized body, so he has the potential to make an impact as a TE. Anyway, it'll be light years more fun than walking the sidelines with a clipboard.
