UMass mourns death of four-year letterwinner Michael Boland

Geesh! 23 years young... IIRC didn't he commit to us then switch to UMASS? Nevertheless, not important... Not at all at this point... God bless him, his immediate family, and the UMass family....

smh...

Very Sad. Prayers to the Umass program.

God bless.

I think that is a different Michael Boland, but still sad. I think our guy was from PA.

 

[ktuck911]

Did a quick search on him... There actually 2 Mike Bolands being recruited around the same time... The Mike Boland that actually made it to Storrs is from the PA area, before transferring out... Michael Boland's from MD....

Regardless, just a sad situation....

My condolences to the UMass family. Just way too young to go. Wonder what the cause of death was.

No, it's terrible, just thought there was some other misfortune.

Wow. Bad week indeed

Actually, another kid on their football team from last year died this week as well I believe.

Committed in Feb 2016 - never enrolled.

He was once wanted by many schools for football. Now, he’s wanted for murder.
