Here's a roundup of the former Michigan player, former commits, and former coaches (or players-turned-coaches). NOTE: I will not regularly post updates about offensive linemen since stats are minimal and just posting PFF grades is kind of boring, but I did this week just to show who's playing where and what their opening day role was.

Well, the Don Brown era at UMass comes to an end. His overall record there was ... not good: 6 wins, 28 losses. I just looked at the UMass schedule for the past several years, and in some ways they had a fairly tough schedules all three years. Their wins were Stony Brook (2022); New Mexico State, Army, Merrimack (2023); and Central Connecticut and Wagner (2024). Their losses over those three years included UConn, Mississippi State, Auburn, among others. It almost makes me wonder if D1 is the place for that program.
ReplyDeleteThere continue to be rumors about McNamara quitting on the team. I don't know if these things are true but there were also issues and rumors with him being a supportive teammate at Michigan.
