This article covers his joining Duke in 2024.
Franks has appeared in 18 career games in two Power Four conferences. He should be a valuable addition to the Minutemen offensive line.
Zach Farris, a 6-0 190 pound transfer DB from Dartmouth has committed to UMass.
Farris is a veteran DB having gone 29 GP 39 UT 13 AT 52 TT 2 INTS and 9 PD. He should be a solid addition to the UMass defensive backfield and supply some leadership too.
Suffered a season-ending injury while at North Texas.
Price is a career 1,000 yard rusher going 223-1093 in carries. He should be a strong addition to the Minutemen RB room.
Bradley Kamga, a 6-2 300 pound transfer OL from LIU has committed to UMass.
Kamga has four years of eligibility. He should add depth and potential for the future on the OL room.
Matthew Ogunnyi, a 6-5 238 pound TE transfer from Rutgers has committed to UMass.
The Minuteman Command has a post on Ogunnyi's commitment to UMass.
Ogunnyi could be one of the top impact players in this year's transfer class. The Minutemen return virtually zero production in the TE room for 2025. Ogunnyi was a Top-20 recruit from the state of Maryland and was the #31 TE recruit in the nation. He should see a lot of playing time in the new UMass offense.
