UMass Football News--January 3rd, 2026

 About 4,500 players are in the transfer portal.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Social media reports UMass has made multiple offers. So far, no signings announced.

UMass needs:

1.  A dual-threat QB. 

2.  A FBS level RB.

3. Offensive line help.

4. Cornerbacks

5. Defensive line help.

6. Wide receivers. 

UMass was dead last in total offense (by a significant margin) last year. That was the worst offense in Minuteman history. 

The Minutemen were #131 in rushing offense and averaged 2.81 yards/carry. Only Charlotte in all of college football had less rushing TD's. 

UMass was also dead last in passing efficiency. No defense could win with this offense. Improving the Minutemen offense to "average" would help a lot..
