| Noah Boykin |

| Bryce Watts and Te"Rai Powell |
I think the defensive backfield is the deepest and most talented unit at UMass. Boykin had a nifty interception during the Spring game. The unit has three Power Five transfers: Boyin, Bryson Richardson and Bryce Watts. Josh Wallace started in 2019 and 2020. Te'Rai Powell looked like a dynamic play maker in 2020. The Minutemen also have Donte Lindsey, Justin Lewis, Osei Dixon, Jordan Mahoney, Javon Batten, Nasir Mills, Tristan Armstrong and Michael Oppong.
This unit is as good as any in the Group-of-Five. With a pass rush and not having to play deep linebacker, I think the DB's will shine in 2021.
