As a Freshman, Chevalier already has Power Four offers from Michigan, Maryland and Missouri. UMass, UConn, Colorado State and UNLV have offered from the Group-of-Five. In Amherst, he would have the chance to be the featured RB and receive an excellent education.
New OC Max Warner talks about Spring practice. I think he'll have more talent to work with than in 2025. The QB room and the WR's look to be much improved. I think the jury is still out on running backs and offensive line.

UPDATE: The Minuteman Command has a post on Charles' offer.
Charles is an up-and-coming athlete who is likely to be a talented recruit by the time he's a senior. UMass is his first offer. He could keep the Springfield-to-UMass pipeline going and play in front of friends and family in Amherst.

The Minuteman run game in 2025 was god-awful. Kimmons would add depth and talent to the running back room. He could be a good fit with UMass.
The new MAC blog "By the Belt" has a report from UMass' Pro Day.
UMass LS Jovani Borbon 5-8 220 , on the NFL bench press standard did 26 reps! That's better than a lot of 300 pound linemen.

Pop Watson says he thrives on pressure.

An Executive order limits college football players to five years of eligibility and one transfer.
Don't think the courts are going to go along with this one.
Now that there is NIL, the players are basically employees of the school. Suppose a player in is an educational program at a university and is playing on the team. The player wants to continue to play and the coaching staff wants to keep him on the roster. Can the NCAA (or anyone else) tell him he cannot continue to use his skills? Isn't that restraint of free trade or something? Five years of eligibility is totally arbitrary..
