UMass Football Recruiting 2023--Anthony Simpson

 

I don't think I blogged about Arizona transfer WR Anthony Simpson. He's a 5-11 190 pound WR/KR. Simpson's UMass bio.

Was awarded the #1 jersey number at Arizona.

Had a highly successful HS career in Bloomfield, CT. 

UMass needs effective WR's and Simpson is listed as one in the spring roster. He also was a valuable kick returner for the Wildcats.

In 2022, Simpson went 19-342 with a 19.0 yards/return average. The Minutemen need all the offensive help they can get. This article discusses the offensive scoring rate vs starting field position.
