I'm going up to Maine for a couple of days. As usual, I'll try to keep the blog going. If I can't, the Blog will be back Saturday.

One position UMass hopes improves is RB. The UMass rushing game was virtually nonexistent in 2020. Since our move to FBS the Minutemen have never finished above #100 in rushing offense and most years were in the bottom five. There may be light at the end of the tunnel.

| Ellis Merriweather. |
Merriweather came in and was elected captain. He's a good straight-ahead runner and should develop better stats this year.
Rutgers transfer Kay'Ron Adams may have been the most impressive runner at the Spring game. I did not get a good image of him, but check out this run on the UMass Football Twitter feed.

| Jared Chisari |
Chisari, a 5-11 200 pound transfer from Bowdoin did not look out of place. He scored on a nifty run up the middle. He should add some depth to the position.
Jonathon White, a 5-10 205 pound transfer from Hutchinson C.C. DNP due to a rib injury per Mark Grabowski.
The last four years or so it always seemed UMass was one-deep at RB. This year it looks as if we have made some strides in talent and depth.
