Lorenzo Woodley brings proven UMass production and veteran backfield toughness
Woodley’s value at UMass is built on production and reliability: in the 2025 season, he finished as the Minutemen’s second-leading rusher with 104 carries for 415 yards and 5 touchdowns, giving him a steady 4.0 yards per carry. The big differentiator is his dependable, downhill style—he’s been the kind of back coaches trust when they need tough yards and red-zone finishing, not just splash plays. He also has a long track record in the program, which matters for fit: he looks like a grinder who can stabilize a rotation rather than a flashy centerpiece.
