Kyle Grabowski of the Hampshire Gazette reports Coach Bell takes inspiration from Coach Carvel and the UMass hockey program.
Kyle also reports on North Carolina transfer Bryce Watts.
The starting secondary against Liberty was:
Noah Boykin CB
Te'Rai Powell, FS
Donte Linsey, SS
Josh Wallace, CB
Cody Jones, Nickle
In 2020, sometimes it looked like Te'Ray Powell was UMass' best defensive player. Adding Watts to the group could make the defensive secondary the Minutemen's best unit. For the last three years or so, the defensive secondary had to deal with stopping opponent running backs who had a fifteen yard head start on them. I think this unit could be very good pass defense if they get some support from the front seven.
