On June 5th, UMass announced eight walk-ons were joining the Minutemen team. How many of them who will earn scholarships will also affect the number of scholarships available for 2015 recruits.

Joe Previte OL/DL 6-2 285 DNP in 2014
Jeremy Rodriguez DB 6-2 205 DNP in 2014
Matthew Wylie K 6-5 190 2 games played. 6-311 kickoffs, 1 Extra point, 0-1 Field goal attempts.
Libby appeared in 10 games and will likely play a lot in 2015. Wylie had a tough start before being injured. I would think the jury is still out on him. Rodriguez drew some favorable coaching mentions during summer practice. He could make the rotation in 2015. The two linemen Denis and Previte are good athletes, but neither has the length that FBS coaches crave these days for offensive linemen. The tallest player on UMass' D-line last year was 6-3, so both could have a future on defense.
