Matty Vautour has "In honor of David Letterman: 10 rising UMass sophomores".

The list includes Sha-Ki Holines. The 6-3 260 pound SO had nine starts in twelve games. He went 34 TT 3.0 TFL 2.0 Sacks.

If UMass stays in the 3-4, and I think they will, the Minutemen's DL starters should be:

DE Peter Angeh JR 6-2 258
NT Robert Kitching III SR 6-1 307
DE Sha-Ki Holines RSO 6-3 260
