UMass Football News--December 11th, 2017

Mike Traini of "Fight Massachusetts" recaps the FIU game.

Recruiting visitors this weekend.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Speaking of recruiting, the following graduate from the November 27th two-deep on offense:

Malik Lee FB

Andrew Libby FB

Matt Tuleja FB

Adam Breneman TE

There are no other fullbacks on the roster. Breneman was a big part of the UMass offense and Whipple's offense in general works best with a pass catching TE.

Other TE's on the roster:

Taylor Edwards RSFR 6-4 255. A former three-star recruit who came off a knee injury in 2016.

Avien Peah RSFR 6-2 260. Played in all 12 games in 2017. No stats

Jon Lucier RSSO 6-6 240. DNP 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017.

Kyle Horn RSSO 6-5 25.  Went 12-3 GP-GS 3-30 25 LONG

Travis Reynolds RSSO 6-5 255. 8-5 GP-GS 2-20 15 LONG.

Of the 24 players listed on the November 27th depth chart on offense, nineteen return. The Minutemen offense was 37th out of 130 FBS offenses in 2017. I would think UMass fans could expect another good year in 2018.
