UMass QB's Forgotten 2012 Flash of Brilliance
Mike Wegzyn, a pro-style QB from Knoxville who committed to UMass after high school stardom, peaked in the 2012 season with a career-high 373 passing yards and his first four TD tosses against Western Michigan—UMass's first lead all year—but faded into obscurity with minimal play at Tennessee in 2013-14. His raw arm talent and breakout potential shone bright once, marking him as a high-upside gunslinger, though injury-prone depth chart battles and inconsistent accuracy curbed his rise. A gamble for teams seeking a developmental project with proven big-game flashes.
