Redshirt Freshmen 2009 Offense 02/11/09

No UMass football news of note today, so let's return to Monday's look at the redshirt freshmen that will be available this spring. I will repeat the cravat that I have no knowledge of any gains or losses in the listed roster.

Offense:

• Julian Colarusso WR. The Quincy, MA native is tall, 6-4 and was a Boston Herald All-Scholastic in 2007.
  
• Cedric Gonnet TB. No bio on the UMass website. He was first team All-Group IV South Jersey in 2006. Note Julian Talley in same article.
• Zack Johnson K/P. No bio on the UMass website.
• Stephane Milhim OL. At 6-4 325, Milhim is the size Mark Whipple favored for OL.
  
• Sean O'Conner OL. The 6-7 O'Neal has "length', which is the current hot atribute in offensive linemen.
• Gilbert Parson OL. First Team All-New England in HS.
• Quinton Sales OL. Sales was a Rivals three star player and the highest rated position ranking (#15 center) signed by UMass last year.
• Alan Williams Ath. No bio on the UMass website .Ran for a lot of yards at Wilbrham &
  Monson

We will also have one additional OL available:

• Kevin Macon OL. Macon is probably an instant starter on the OL. One of the highest rated players we signed in 2006.

Obviously, the strength of the redshirt freshmen on the offensive side is linemen. We return Valdimir Ducasse Sr., Rob Getek RS Sr., John Ihne Jr, and Josh Samuda Soph. as starters on the offensive line.

One article (no link) said Cedric Gonnet was injured back in HS in 2007. If fully recovered, he could be in the mix at TB.
