Massachusetts Minutemen NFL Draft Prospects

Massachusetts hit rock bottom in 2025, going 0-12 and fielding the least productive offense in the country. The Minutemen finished last nationally in scoring at 11.1 points per game and last in total offense at 247.5 yards, while the defense surrendered 38.6 points per game, the worst mark in the FBS. UMass carries the nation's longest active losing streak, 16 games, into a new era.

The program formally joins the Mid-American Conference in 2026, and second-year coach Joe Harasymiak has responded to the wreckage with a top-to-bottom roster refresh built almost entirely through the transfer portal. The headliner is new quarterback Pop Watson III, but the makeover runs from a new offensive coordinator through nearly every position group. The preseason consensus slots UMass at the bottom of the MAC, but there is, at minimum, nowhere to go but up.
