UMass Football News--August 18th, 2020

 Mike Traini of "Fight Massachusetts" has a post on the changes in the UMass roster.

There were some gains and pains in the roster update. As Mike points out, the big news is JUCO QB Kyle Lindquist leaving the program. He would have been the likely starter.

The good news at QB is addition of Zamar Wise. He's listed as an "athlete", I would think his biggest impact could be as a dual-threat QB. He could be a bigger, more durable version of Ross Comis. Ross, BTW,  is currently on the roster of the Ottawa Red Blacks. Given the level of QB play last year, Wise could be an instant contender for the starting position.

UMass also added four defensive players, a LB and three DB's. Since they are new to me, I'll do a recruiting post on all four later in the week. The Minutemen defense needs all the help it can get.
