UMass Football News--October 9th, 2019

Josh Walfish has some notes on this week's practice. Two more true freshmen made their first UMass appearances last week against FIU. Offensive lineman Xavier Grham had some snaps at DT. Taj Jones, who has been practicing as a WR also saw some time on defense at CB.

Wilson Frederic and Grant Laws have made their maximum four appearances they can use without burning their redshirt.

Jermaine “OC” Johnson Jr., Josh Wallace, Johnathon Weir and Billy Wooden have made more than four appearances, so they will not redshirt.
