Zak Simon brings reliable, undersized slot production to UMass
Zak Simon has shown he can be a steady target for Massachusetts, finishing his 2024 season with 32 catches for 355 yards and 2 touchdowns, averaging 11.1 yards per reception; ESPN also lists him at 47 career catches for 593 yards and 4 scores.[6][2] At 5-foot-10.5 and 172 pounds, he profiles more as a quick, efficient route-runner than a big-bodied mismatch, which can make him a useful fit for an offense that values timing, separation, and dependable hands.[5][6] The main question for a team is upside versus size-based constraints, but his track record suggests a trustworthy possession-type receiver who can stay on schedule.[6]
