UMass’s lunch-pail linebacker: Andrew Resende-Gomes brings effort, special-teams value, and coach-trusted grit
Andrew Resende-Gomes profiles as a dependable, hard-nosed linebacker whose biggest value is effort, special-teams impact, and doing the little things right rather than flashy box-score production. UMass listed him as a starting outside linebacker in fall camp and described him as an excellent special teams contributor, a hard worker, and a good teammate, which is exactly the kind of glue-guy profile coaches love. If your team needs steady physicality, practice reliability, and someone who won’t get lost in the weeds, he fits the bill.
