Josh Atwood brings veteran size and line stability to UMass
Atwood is a 6-foot-2, 325-pound senior offensive lineman for Massachusetts who has been a steady, multi-year starter, including all 12 games in 2022 and all 12 in 2023, and he was recognized on Phil Steele’s All-Independent Team and as a Second Team Center in 2023.[1][3][4] What makes him useful is not flash but reliability: he has anchored a run game that improved to just under 148 rushing yards per game in 2022, and reports from summer work say he has stood out in 11-on-11s for handling both blitzes and defensive looks.[3][4] If you want a physical interior lineman with experience, durability, and leadership, Atwood fits.
