UMass has picked up another commit from last weekend's OV's. Dashaun Jerkins is 5-11 185 pound Safety from Old Miss/Vanderbilt.
The Minutemen's defense had a remarkable turnaround last year that was overshadowed by the offense's troubles. The UMass "D" went from the bottom of FBS to #55 in total defense and were in the top-25 in a couple of defensive categories. Still, there is room for improvement. Jerkins is a senior with 27 SEC starts in the defensive backfield. He should have a good senior season playing for Don Brown.

Also present was previous commit Zachery Anderson. Besides the skill players, UMass needs athleticism and speed on the OL. I'm looking forward to following Anderson's career in Amherst.
