Franck Elokan, a 6-1 195 pound DB from Belgium has committed to UMass.
Elokan is from Brandon Collier's placement program for European players. Collier said Elokan is UMass' next Sean Smalls. If you don't get the reference, Smalls was one of Don Brown's top DB's during his first stint as head coach. I went to the UMass-Texas Tech game in 2008 and Smalls did an excellent job against Micharel Crabtree, the Red Raiders NFL bound wide receiver.
This article from Europe's Elite features Elokan.
Elokan is a pro-sized DB with a big upside. I'll be interested in following his career with the Minutemen.
