UMass’s old-school, downhill back with proven production
In the latest available UMass bio, Jonathan Hernandez is listed as a 5-11, 190-pound redshirt junior from Leominster, Mass., and he’s been described as a high school star tailback who is now in a backup role for the Minutemen[1]. His earlier UMass track record shows real feature-back traits: in the 2011 season, he led the team’s ground game with 938 rushing yards, 9 rushing touchdowns, and 17 total scores for his career at that point[8][13]. Why care? He brings toughness, local pride, and dependable between-the-tackles value; is he a fit? If you want a physical runner who can handle volume and keep the offense on schedule, yes—this is the kind of back coaches trust.
