UMass Football News--August 6th, 2021

 The Fall camp UMass football roster is up.

The roster has 109 players, which is probably the high for the last four years. The roster has 65 freshmen or redshirt freshmen. We are a very young team. However, 109 players means UMass will be able to have a scout team and be pretty much on the level with other Group-of-Five teams.

Additions to the roster include:

Troy Shallow, 6-1 245 DL. His Merrimack bio here

Drew Harvey, 6-1 225 LB. Fort Hays bio here. This article from 2019 features Harvey.

Eric Collins, 5-9 180 WR. North Carolina State bio here

Two transfers who have a good chance to start are:

Willie Allen, 6-7 340 OL. Michigan bio here.

Brian Parrish, 6-6 305 OL. North Texas bio here.
