Mike Traini of "Fight Massachusetts" reviews the 2023 TE room. The UMass TE group is an unknown quantity going into the season. Eni Falayi is the top returning TE in stats and he had two catches for 12 yards.
The tight end position has significantly increased as a receiving weapon in modern football. Perhaps because of highly evolved pass defenses currently being played. The Georgia Bulldogs are winning national championships with TE's like Brock Bowers as a big part of their offense.
Both Coach Bell and Coach Brown have praised the Minutemen TE's. UMass really needs to get more production from that group if the offense is to significantly improve. A big year from transfer red shirt senior Matt Smith would help.
