Thursday--March 31st, 2016

Blake Frohnapfel wins the Desmond "Tuss" McCaughry Award as Western Mass' top student-athlete.

Impressive work by Frohnapfel as he graduated from Marshall in three years and added double Master's degrees in two years at UMass.

The Detroit Lions recently met with Frohnapfel.

CBS Sports has Frohnapfel as the #23 QB in the 2016 NFL Draft.

Coach Costello's UMass bio. His UMass player bio.

He mentions three DB's having a good Spring so far:

Lee Moses RSFR
James Oliphant SO
Jackson Porter RS JR

Costello will also have one JUCO and one returning starter in 2016

Khary Bailey-Smith (former starter coming off a knee injury, five career starts)
Teddy Lowery JR (JUCO)

Also available are:

Jordan Hamilton JR
Micah Morel RS FR
Charan Singh RS SO (five starts)
Jesse Monteiro RS JR (three starts)
Brandon Mangram RS FR

FWIW, I would predict Bailey-Smith and Teddy Lowery as starting safeties and James Oliphant and Jackson Porter at corner.

In August the Minutemen will also add their highest-rated ever DB recruiting class.
