Preview | UMass Official Visit Weekend #2
A look at the prospects the Minutemen are expected to be hosting for official visits this weekend.
This weekend, several prospects in the 2026 recruiting class will take their official visits to UMass. The Minutemen enjoyed a tremendous amount of success with last week’s official visits, which will be very difficult to duplicate. But they have plenty of additional interested players coming to Amherst this weekend.
RUNNING BACK
TK Davis
A three-star recruit out of Archbishop Carroll in Washington D.C., Davis announced his offer from the Minutemen back on May 7th. The 5-foot-10, 180-pounder has received offers from Syracuse, Toledo, Akron and others.
