Former Springfield Central and Boston College wide receiver Joseph Griffin Jr. has entered the transfer portal after two seasons with the Eagles.

He was a four-star recruit who chose to attend Chestnut Hill versus other Division I schools in Notre Dame, Virginia, Duke, Wisconsin, Wake Forest, and UMass.

Does UMass need a wide receiver?

Always.

[LS71]

^ He was on four state championship teams at Central three football and one basketball.

Haven't been too lucky with Central kids and that's when Vlad was here! Plus, we're in good position to land former 4-star Eammon Dennis from the Worcester area who is transferring from Michigan. Also, Wide Receiver is one of the stronger groups this year and I see Lynch-Adams OSU land is gone!

Interesting to see KLA is visiting Mich State... thought he was going to Ohio State?? MSU has a ton of good RBs.. he may have overplayed his hand

This is a good article and will post less than half regarding the MAC's success in NFL draft and how it can work in the transfer portal era.

More than 50 scouts from all 32 NFL teams attended Toledo's Pro Day this year, even though the Rockets' top prospect, likely first-round pick Quinyon Mitchell, didn't work out. Instead, Mitchell stood on his NFL Combine numbers; the coveted cornerback ran a 4.33 in the forty-yard dash and had a vertical jump of 38 inches.

Twenty-three NFL teams sent representatives to Western Michigan, where defensive lineman Marshawn Kneeland is expected to be an early-round choice. His former linemates Braden Fiske and Andre Carter transferred to Florida State and Indiana, respectively, and are also expected to hear their names called during the draft, with Fiske a potential second- or third-round selection. That means that at one point in Kalamazoo, three draft picks were playing together along the defensive front.

What, exactly, are they putting in the Gatorade in the Mid-American Conference?

The answer is, nothing new. Long-time draftniks should be able to rattle off plenty of MAC players who have drawn crowds of scouts. Ben Roethlisberger, Khalil Mack, Eric Fisher, Joe Staley, Byron Leftwich and Chad Pennington are among the MAC's first-round picks since 2000. Kareem Hunt, Diontae Johnson, Sean Murphy-Bunting are other current notables in the pros. Prior to those names, James Harrison, Jason Taylor, Josh Cribbs, Antonio Gates, Antonio Brown, Greg Jennings, and Michael Turner came from the MAC, and the true historians who want to go back to Jack Lambert and Phil Villapiano can take it there.

But as teams grow their recruiting staffs, as online services like HUDL make it easier for recruits to send film to any school in the country, and as players are now able to be plucked via the transfer portal, it is notable that the MAC continues to produce high-end NFL talent.

"That's where you find yourself as a coach," says one former MAC assistant. "You learn what works, you figure out the type of player you work well with, and you can take some chances on kids, and when they hit, you start to establish what's important for you in evaluation."

The cliché is "if you're good, the NFL will find you."

I’d love to see UMass sign him along with Joseph Griffen, Jr., the wide receiver transferring from BC.
