 Mike Traini of "Fight Massachusetts" has a position review: running backs.

Right now, the running back room is an unknown quantity. Coach Brown has repeatedly praised Jalen John. However, we have not seen much action from him so far. The late addition of Brandon Campbell may indicate there was some unease among the coaches about the status of the running back room.

The Greenfield Recorder has a post on Campbell joining the Minutemen. In his past tenure with UMass, Coach Brown liked to have a featured running back. The Minutemen might have to run by committee until Campbell gets his legs under him.
