Several news sources report Jordan Fredericks, a 5-10 210 pound RB who previously played for Syracuse, has transferred to UMass.

Mike Traini of "Fight Massachusetts" has a post on Fredericks.

Matty Vautour has a report on the transfer.

A Syracuse fan site on SB Nation talks about Fredericks moving to the Minutemen.

Syracuse.com has a story on Fredericks' transfer to UMass.

NBC Sports has a post on Fredericks landing in Amherst.

Fredericks' Orange bio.

Fredericks is a nice addition to the Minutemen team. He's the 2014 New York HS Gatorade Player-of-the-Year. Fredericks averaged over 5 yards a carry during his career in Syracuse. Hopefully, he'll be as successful at UMass as Penn State transfer Adam Breneman.

This is what UMass needs to do to succeed in talent-sparse New England. The Minutemen needs to exploit all the recruiting streams to build the talent level in Amherst.

Good catch by the UMass coaching staff. Go UMass!
