He's a 6'3", 260-pound disruptive player. They've got a defensive end named Marcus Bradley, who we recruited pretty heavily out of high school, from Gaithersburg, went to Vanderbilt originally and then transferred to UMass. 56, Cletus Mathurin, who's from Hartford, Connecticut, another D-tackle over 300 pounds. 42, Billy Wooden, who's a big kid from Towson, Maryland, 6'3", 310. Guys that we've been impressed with are D-tackle, No. I've got a ton of respect for Keith and Don both as defensive minds. I could be wrong there, but either way, those two guys have been really connected for a long time. I think Coach Brown, I don't mean this with any disrespect to anybody, but I think Coach Brown is calling the defense. He's been tied with Coach Brown for a long time. He's averaging over five yards per carry. Then their quarterback, who we recruited heavily out of high school, Taisun Phommachanh was at Clemson, was at Georgia Tech, and is now at UMass, is completing almost 66 percent of his passes and doing some really nice things. These guys have got our attention and specifically on the offensive side of the ball we think are doing a great job.ĭefensive coordinator Keith Dudzinski, who I've known for a long time, as well. We've been impressed with him, 17 yards per reception. Wide receiver Anthony Simpson is an Arizona transfer.

They're an 11-personnel, no-huddle spread, heavy, heavy RPO team. Steve is doing a really nice job for them. When you talk about kind of getting into some of the specifics, their offensive coordinator we've been impressed with, Steve Casula. Well respected head coach as well as defensive coordinator. Obviously, he's been at Michigan and a ton of other places, as well. ![]() Don was the defensive coordinator at Maryland when I was the offensive coordinator, so we've got history. Johnny is a great blitzer, then also supporting the run, so I wanted to give him some love because it's deserved.įrom a UMass perspective, Don Brown, the coach. I think we have two corners, we have more than that, but two corners in Johnny and Kalen that are tough guys and that are physical at that position, which is less common now than it used to be. They do a really good job in a lot of different ways, not just defending the pass. I think Johnny is playing really good football. It really started in training camp and has continued, and that's Johnny Dixon. I did want to give one of our guys some love because I don't think he's getting enough attention for how well he is playing.
