Mike Traini of "Fight Massachusetts" reports RB Bilal Ally will return to the Minutemen next year.

This is a big "recruit" for Coach Bell. Ally rushed for 25-139 5.5 AVE 66 LONG in 2018. Without Ally UMass would have been very thin at RB next year.

With Jordan Fredericks being a senior and Ally a junior next year, UMass still really needs a RB in the 2019 recruiting class, but the coaching staff can now afford to be more choosy in their offers.
