UMass Football News--March 27th, 2026

 

The Minuteman Command has a post on WR T.Y. Harding feeling a new era in UMass football.

Harding's UMass bio here

Harding's injury last year caused the wheels to come off the Minutemen's passing game.

The stats from the WR room were brutal.

Opponents had 29 passing TD's. UMass had 8.

Five of the eights TD's were by UMass TE's (as was the season's longest reception)

Our leading receivers last year:

  1. Jacquon Gibson 63-616 ZERO TD'S
  2. Donnie Gray 27-260 ZERO TD'S

This year Harding, plus Wisconsin transfer Joe Griffin and Devin Matthews should give us far more offensive firepower. I also like true freshman Kai Owens. He's one of the highest rated recruits ever to sign with UMass. He may be too good to redshirt.
