UMass Football News--August 17th, 2021

 Kyle Grabowski has a detailed post on Monday's UMass scrimmage.

Kyle reports Tyler Lytle was still held out due to a groin issue. Garrett Druzo was held to a limited number of throws with a shoulder recovery. Druzo did hit four passes in a row opening the scrimmage. Zamir Wise showed good movement. Brady Olson produced three TD's. 

I had forgotten the rule change in 2019 that players could appear in four games without breaking their redshirt. I would think Olson will get some live fire experience in 2021.

Gravowski also mentioned TE's Eni Falayi and Taylor Edwards looked good with some nice catches. He mentioned WR's "OC" Johnson and new comers Rico Arnold and Michael Fitzgerald showed some flash.

Coach Bell said Kay'Ron Adams or Jamir Roberts could be the kick returners.
