UMass Football Recruiting 2026--Ty McCutcheon commits to UMass

 UMass social media is reporting JUCO QB Ty McCutcheon has committed to UMass

I blogged about McCutcheon back on June 18th. 

 McCutcheon took a OV to UMass last weekend and it looks like it was a good fit for both sides. He should provide depth and leadership in the QB room. Hope he has a great career with the Mionutemen.

 

UMass Football Recruiting 2027--Amari Cannon commits to UMass

 

Amari Cannon, a 6-1 185 pound RB from Downingtown, PA has committed to UMass.

I blogged about Cannon back on May 23rd. 

Cannon is a good sized RB who can also catch the ball out of the backfield. He had 10 total offers and chose UMass over FBS offers from Temple and Kent State.  He should be a strong addition to the 2027 class and I look forward to watching him play for the Minutemen.

UMass Football Recruiting 2026--Michael Streeter

 

UMass has added Australian punter Michael Streeter to the 2026 roster.

This website (scroll down) has a recruiting capsule on Streeter. 

 Streeter gets a mention in this article about Australians prepping for American or Canadian football.

Keegan Andrews was UMass' first FBS All-American and the best punter of the FBS era by a long shot. If Streeter can approach Andrew's production he will win the hearts of UMass fans.
