UMass Football News--November 30th, 2022

 Dear Santa:

    All I want for Christmas is a transfer QB, who'll move the team. A grad transfer would be outstanding. We do have Ahmad Haston coming in as a true freshman.

It would be nice to have him have a red-shirt year before (hopefully) becoming a three-year starter.

There are a number of QB's in the transfer portal. I'd like to see a QB with some decent stats at the FBS level, not a career back-up. We tried that in 2021

Georgia Tech transfer Jeff Sims has some good numbers, but has been hampered by injuries:

"During three seasons as the Yellow Jackets quarterback, Sims threw for 4,464 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 23 interceptions. He had a career 57.5% completion percentage. Sims also had 1,166 yards rushing and 11 touchdowns in his career with the Yellow Jackets. "

Ex-Michigan QB Cade McNamara should be familiar to Coach Brown and staff.

Monmouth QB Tony Muskett had great stats for the FCS Hawks.

"In 23 games at Monmouth, Muskett threw for 5,687 yards, with 51 touchdowns and 16 interceptions. He threw a career-high eight interceptions last season, before suffering a knee injury during a seven-overtime loss to Rhode Island."
