Though there are seven quarterbacks listed on the roster, three have formed an early breakaway group: Colorado transfer Tyler Lytle, redshirt sophomore Garrett Dzuro and redshirt freshman Zamir Wise. "We're in the middle of a competition. We've got three great kids with good skills, winnable football skills," Bell said. "It's just now we've got to go find the right guy." Dzuro played in three of UMass' four games last year, completing 15 of 36 passes for 220 yards. Lytle appeared in seven games in two years at CU and threw for 55 yards. Wise joined the Minutemen two weeks before they kicked off last season, so the staff moved him to wide receiver so he could contribute. He caught two passes for 16 yards. "Tyler's more of a classic distributor, Garrett's a little more of a classic distributor, and Zaire Wise is as good with his feet as anyone in our program," Bell said. "All three of those guys are doing a great job, still learning the basics of the offense. Hopefully as we go through spring we'll start to develop a pecking order." - Daily Hampshire Gazette

03/14/21 - Juwuan Price, rSr/2026, Massachusetts, 5-10, 201 (DS#144 RB) + More +

Jonah Johnson rushed for two first downs to keep a final drive alive and Juwan Price scored the winning touchdown from 13 yards out as New Mexico State won a see-saw battle with Division I newcomer Dixie State 35-29 on Sunday. Price took a handoff straight up the middle, finishing with 165 yards on 20 carries for the Aggies (1-1). Johnson finished with 171 yards passing and picked up 28 of his 53-yards rushing on the game-winning drive. Where New Mexico State may have been thunder, pounding out 329 yards on the ground, Dixie State (1-1) was lightning, coming from eight points down into a 29-29 tie in a single play from scrimmage. - New Mexico State/AP College Football

03/02/21 - Jerry Roberts Jr., rSr/2024, Massachusetts, 6-0, 230 (DS#85 ILB) + More +

Arizona is bringing in more veteran linebacking help from the Mid-American Conference. Jerry Roberts, a 6-4, 235-pound linebacker from Bowling Green, announced Tuesday that he's transferring to the UA. Roberts recorded 93 tackles, including 7.5 for losses, and one forced fumbles in 20 games for the Falcons. Roberts comes to Arizona as a graduate transfer. He is projected to play the "Sam" linebacker position and also could be used as a pass rusher. Roberts is the second linebacker from the MAC to join the Wildcats this offseason. They previously signed Treshaun Hayward from Western Michigan. Hayward was the conference's Defensive Player of the Year in 2019. - Arizona Star News

02/11/21 - Frank Ladson Jr., rSr/2025, Massachusetts, 6-3, 200 (DS#999 WR) + More +

Coach Dabo Swinney had high hopes for Ladson in 2020, but injuries cost the wide receiver valuable playing time. When he was on the field, Ladson flashed the ability to get open in deep-ball situations, but was often plagued by drops. He finished the season with 18 catches for 281 yards and three touchdowns. With Powell and Rodgers gone, there will be an opportunity for Ladson to step up. - Charleston Post Courier

On the defensive side of the ball, Cushnie is set to build off of a 2019 First-Team honor after coming away with 39 tackles - 27 solo - and a team-high seven sacks. He also recorded eight quarterback hurries, two forced fumbles, a recovery and a blocked kick over the course of 12 games. - Alabama A&M Football

01/08/21 - Isaiah Rutherford, rSr/2025, Massachusetts, 6-0, 195 (DS#126 CB) + More +

The transfers continue to buy into Jedd Fisch and the Arizona Wildcats. The latest addition to new defensive coordinator Don Brown's secondary could be the biggest - and most-needed - one, after four-star cornerback and Notre Dame transfer Isaiah Rutherford committed to the UA on Twitter Thursday night. The 6-foot, 192-pound Rutherford, who played at Jesuit High School in the Sacramento area, signed with the Fighting Irish over Alabama, LSU, Oklahoma, Nebraska, Oregon, USC and Tennessee, among others, in 2019. After two seasons at Notre Dame, only appearing in one game, Rutherford transferred to the UA, becoming the latest pickup for the Wildcats through the transfer portal, which Fisch said would utilize similarly to "free agency." - Arizona Star News

01/06/21 - JB Brown, rSr/2024, Massachusetts, 6-1, 280 (DS#999 DE) + More +

Arizona defensive lineman JB Brown, who opted out of the 2020 football season because of COVID-19 concerns, will return to the Wildcats in '21, he told the Star Tuesday morning. The 6-foot-3-inch, 267-pound Los Angeles-area native, initially recruited by the Rich Rodriguez regime out of Long Beach Poly High School as an outside linebacker, has played on Arizona's defensive line since the 2017 season. In two seasons under Kevin Sumlin, Brown played in all 24 games, including 14 starts, at defensive end and, in certain stunts, defensive tackle. Brown was one of two UA defensive lineman to announce on Tuesday his plan to play for Arizona in '21. The 6-5, 305-pound Trevon Mason is the other. - Arizona Star News

12/13/20 - Tyler Lytle, rSr/2023, Massachusetts, 6-4, 225 (DS#999 QB) + More +

Colorado backup quarterback Tyler Lytle is entering the NCAA transfer portal. On Saturday evening, a few hours after the Buffaloes' 38-21 loss to Utah at Folsom Field, Lytle announced his decision on social media. With Lytle going into the transfer portal, true freshman Brendon Lewis could be elevated to the top backup spot for the rest of the season. Lewis has not appeared in a game. Lytle, a 6-foot-5, 220-pound redshirt junior from Redondo Beach, Calif., came to CU in January of 2017 after a stellar career at Servite High School. In terms of scholarship offers, Lytle is the most highly recruited quarterback to sign with CU since Fairview's Craig Ochs in 2000. - The Denver Post

11/07/20 - Cameron Sullivan-Brown, rSr/2023, Massachusetts, 6-1, 188 (DS#162 WR) + More +

Two players who were expected to see the field a decent amount this season for Penn State haven't played any snaps so far through two games. Redshirt junior receiver Cam Sullivan-Brown - listed as a starter in the Nittany Lions' Week 1 and Week 2 depth chart - hasn't played yet. Sophomore cornerback Keaton Ellis has been behind redshirt freshman cornerback Joey Porter Jr. on all three of Penn State's depth charts, but he hasn't played a single down either. Sullivan-Brown had eight catches for 56 yards in 2019. The 6-foot, 191-pound receiver was expected to take a step forward this season for a receiving corps that didn't return much talent from last year. Without Sullivan-Brown, the Nittany Lions have turned to freshmen receivers Parker Washington and KeAndre Lambert-Smith. Penn State's depth chart this week lists Lambert-Smith as a starter over Sullivan-Brown. "He had some things going on that weren't gonna allow him to play the way he wants to play and that we know he's capable of playing," Franklin said of Sullivan-Brown. "So he's available, but KeAndre is a guy that we saw do some really good things during camp but was still a true freshman." - Centre Times

10/11/20 - JB Brown, rSr/2024, Massachusetts, 6-1, 280 (DS#999 DE) + More +

The Arizona Wildcats will be without two projected rotation players for the 2020 season, and a third is away from the team indefinitely. Tailback Bam Smith and defensive end JB Brown have opted out because of COVID-19 concerns, UA coach Kevin Sumlin announced after the first practice of fall camp Friday night. Meanwhile, receiver Jalen Johnson has been suspended for a violation of team rules. Smith, a redshirt sophomore, rushed for 203 yards and a touchdown last season, averaging 6.0 yards per attempt. He also caught 12 passes for 181 yards and two scores. JB Brown was entering his senior season. He appeared to be on the verge of a breakout after recording 7.5 tackles for losses, including 3.5 sacks, as a sophomore. He wasn't as impactful as a junior (five TFLs, three sacks), and it was unclear where the 6-3, 267-pounder would fit in new defensive coordinator Paul Rhoads' 3-4 scheme. - Arizona Star News

09/22/20 - Larnel Coleman, rSr/2021, Massachusetts, 6-6, 307 (DS#33 OT) + More +

UMass is back on the grid. Athletic director Ryan Bamford announced on Monday the university intends to play a limited football schedule commencing sometime in mid-October. UMass, one of seven independent FBS programs, is in-step with a nationwide reversal following the Big 10 decision to resume play. The Pac-12 is expected to vote on resuming play this week. UMass shutdown football operations on Aug. 11 with the intent on playing a spring schedule. The decision to resume play was reached after a review of the football program's stringent COVID-19 safety protocols and testing regimen enacted when the players returned to campus in June. More than 1,300 COVID tests have been administered to all members of the football program, with two positive results. Bamford was given the green light to contact potential opponents on Sunday while second-year coach Walt Bell informed the team on Monday morning. - Boston Herald

09/02/20 - Mark Pope, rSr/2024, Massachusetts, 5-11, 178 (DS#91 WR) + More +

Last year, Pope admitted he struggled to grasp the playbook as a freshman and he was clearly more comfortable as a sophomore, even if he still wasn't living up to lofty expectations playing in former offensive coordinator Dan Enos' pro-style system. Lashlee could tell some of Pope's issues on film as he rewatched games from last season, and they were trouble for the receivers across the board, he said. "You want guys to play fast mentally. When guys are hesitant, when guys are unsure of what to do, maybe overloaded with what's going on, they just seem to play slower without the ball, getting off covered press, running routes. There's a hesitation there and it's hard to play to your best when you're hesitant and not confident," Lashlee said. "Hopefully, we're putting him in a position to be successful by doing the same stuff over and over again." Wiggins knows Pope's potential better than perhaps anyone else at Miami, save for maybe recruiting director David Cooney, who was the Spartans' offensive coordinator in 2017 when Pope caught a game-winning 72-yard touchdown in the state championship. - Miami Herald

08/28/20 - Tyler Lytle, rSr/2023, Massachusetts, 6-4, 225 (DS#999 QB) + More +

After the Pac-12 made the decision on Aug. 11 to postpone the fall sports season until after Dec. 31 because of the coronavirus pandemic, Lytle had to shift gears mentally. Instead of battling senior Sam Noyer and true freshman Brendon Lewis for the starting job in preseason camp this month, Lytle will spend the next several months - at least - perfecting his craft even more. "I had three years to really adjust to college football and figure out what I needed to work on," said Lytle, who has been a backup to Steven Montez, now in the NFL, since coming to CU. "You never stop that, really. "Through these past three years, size and strength was kind of a big thing for me I'm at a good weight right now. I've gotten a lot faster, so I'm continuing to improve my body, improve the mental aspects of the game." The 6-foot-5 Lytle is now a legitimate 220 pounds and has combined strength and speed. Never known for his speed, Lytle was asked if that aspect was overlooked by others early in his career. - Daily Camera

University of Massachusetts Athletics announced the cancellation of the 2020 UMass football season on Tuesday. Football student-athletes will remain enrolled in coursework full-time, either virtually or in-person, in line with the University of Massachusetts' update to its fall reopening plan, announced on Thursday, August 6. Football team members began returning to campus for team activities in late June, 2020, with extensive health and safety protocols in place to mitigate the risk of COVID-19. Over the past seven weeks the program had only one positive test with more than 600 COVID-19 tests administered. - Massachusetts Athletics
