Ke’Mon Bailey brings veteran cornerback toughness to UMass
Ke’Mon Bailey is a savvy, experienced defensive back for Massachusetts whose calling card has been steady coverage play and ball production; in the 2009 season, he started 10 of 11 games and posted 38 tackles, 5 passes defended, and a forced fumble. UMass listed him as a 5-foot-10, 180-pound redshirt senior, and team notes described him as a former wide receiver who converted to cornerback, which usually shows up as better ball skills and feel for route timing. He looks like the kind of player who can help a secondary with experience, competitiveness, and versatility rather than pure flash.
