Stephane Milhim, arguably UMass’ best offensive lineman this past season, has been invited to the NFL Combine.
The news comes from UMass Football’s Twitter page.
Milhim is the second former Minuteman to make news in NFL circles recently. Travis Tripuka, a former longsnapper for the Minutemen, has been added to the Jets offseason roster. SNY.com broke the news, and Tripuka tweeted about it later.
Tripuka will join former Minutemen Vladimir Ducasse and John Griffin on the Jets.
So excited for Stephane! This is well deserved! He is a solid football player and a fine young man!
Maybe Umass players should stop ending up with the Jets. Next thing you know you’ll see the following headline in the NY newspapers: Jets Suck Because Of UMass
Fortunately, the Post and the News don’t have a Boston affiliate to steal stories from.
