Tim Grant-Randall brings proven interior disruption and veteran durability to UMass
Grant-Randall is a sturdy, experienced defensive lineman who has produced across multiple stops, including 27 tackles, 1.5 sacks and 2.5 tackles for loss for UMass in 2025 after appearing in 11 games in 2024, and EA Sports grades him well for strength, tackling, block-shedding and play recognition. His differentiators are reliability, functional power and a long track record of beating blocks rather than flashy splash plays; he also showed bounce-back value after an earlier season-ending injury at Eastern Michigan in 2021. He looks like a fit for teams needing a mature, assignment-sound DL who can hold the point and chip in situational pressure.
