physically promising UMass OL with early upside and off-field credibility
Bloch is a **young, developmental interior lineman** at UMass who already brings a pro-style frame at 6-3, 295 and a reputation as a weight-room-driven player who calls himself a “weight room junkie.” He was a **two-varsity starter** at guard and center before arriving in Amherst, did not compete in 2024, and is now a redshirt sophomore with a clean slate to turn strength and work ethic into game-day consistency. The extra value here is the intangibles: academic discipline, local roots, and a 2026 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team nomination point to a dependable culture fit.[5][4][8]
