UMass has added Australian punter Michael Streeter to the 2026 roster.
This website (scroll down) has a recruiting capsule on Streeter.
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.

This is a nice signing for the Minutemen. Gomez chose UMass over offers from Virginia Tech, Boston College, Rutgers and UConn. He should have a bright future with the resurgent Minuteman offense.

Turpin is originally from Ontario, Canada. Defensive end has been a need for the Minutemen for a long time. He could play FBS football and get an excellent education in Amherst with UMass.
