an old-school UMass playmaker with ball skills and versatility
Bobby Boyer’s UMass profile points to a defensive back with real playmaking juice and versatility — his school-record/archives entries show impact value across the 2002-03 seasons, including 2 career interceptions and 18 games played for Massachusetts. He also brought added utility, with UMass archival records listing him in all-purpose production rather than as a pure coverage-only DB, which hints at a multi-phase contributor. If you want a gritty, adaptable defensive back who can fit multiple roles, that’s the appeal; the downside is that the available public record is historical rather than current-season performance, so current form and injury status aren’t documented here.
