UMass acted quickly to fill Matt Shadeed's spot as Director of Sports Performance. A.J. Turner has been hired. He was an assistant strength and conditioning coach at Florida.
I was hoping for a hire from FBS and from a Power Five team. The Minutemen have one of the better performance centers in the Group-of Five and UMass needs all the leverage we can get for recruiting and on the field performance.
Coach Turner recently authored an article on the "Importance of a disciplined Team"
The assistant strength and conditioning coach for football is Joel Reinhart who was hired in 2019.
