UMass Football News--July 31st, 2018

Josh Walfish has five position battles to watch during UMass' fall camp.

One interesting position is TE. The tight end has always been a big part of Whipple's offense. UMass returns 6-5 250 Kyle Horn (4 career receptions) and 6-5 255 Travis Reynolds (8 career receptions). Reynolds is coming off a knee injury that kept him out of the last four games of 2017.

One player I like is 6-4 255 Taylor Edwards. He was a three-star recruit who suffered a knee injury late in his HS career. He was red-shirted in 2016 and DNP in 2017. He could have a big upside.

Reynolds has made several athletic catches and could surprise if Ford throws to him. In addition, 6-2 260 Avien Peah is now listed as a TE.
