The third video installment from UMass' spring camp is up.
It features former QB Gino Campiotti. Geno has stuck with the program and I really hope he has a great final year in football. He's an athletic, tough kid and deserves some success in his final year.
Production from the TE room would really help jump start UMass dormant offense. The Minutemen have been trying to run against eight or nine in box. Some pass offense production would really help loosen the opposing defense. In addition, a quick-release pass to a TE would help on pass protection.
Also in the TE room:
Eni Falayi RSFR 6-5 240.
Nathan Fraser FR 6-2 215.
Jackson Manning RSFR 6-5 250.
Jason Weir RSSO 6-3 254.
Magnus Von Salden RSFR 6-4 255.

CBS Sports reports former UMass player and coach Neal Brown needs to win in his fifth season.

Big changes coming for the Service Academies. The NCAA in a little noticed rule change, has outlawed cut blocks outside of the tackles. Army is switching to a shotgun style offense.
Playing the option really helped level the playing field for the Academies. They don't get 6-6 315 pound offensive linemen, so the option really helped fill in the size and talent gap. We'll see this year how much the change hampers the Black Knights.
