Brandon Mackinnon, a 6-6 280 pound transfer OL from Northern Illinois has committed to UMass.
Mackinnon is from Lakeville, MA and can play in front of friends and family in Amherst. He was first team All-Prep at the Hun School in New Jersey. With a redshirt year at Northern Illinois plus a prep year after HS, Mackinnon could be in the mix for playing time immediately. He had a Power Five offer from Virginia and two offers from MAC schools coming out of Prep.
Fixing the offense includes upgrading the depth and athleticism of the OL. UMass could use some first-team All-Independent linemen.
