On Monday evening Coach Brown appeared on the New England Football Show (well worth watching in its own right) and said Anthony Johnson, a 6-5 260 pound DL from Iowa Central C.C. has signed with UMass.

Johnson's JUCO bio here.

Hudl.com has video.

Johnson had 26 offers including Marshall, EKU, LA Tech and Bowling Green from Group-of-Five schools. Defensive linemen are scarcest recruits. If his Hudl bio is correct and he runs a 4.7 40, he could be a big find for the Minutemen. Johnson should be a good fit in Coach Brown's attacking defense. He's also from Central Bucks West in PA and we had a number of players from that school back in FCS days.
