MOBILE, Ala. - University of Massachusetts senior offensive lineman Ray Thomas-Ishman earned placement on the 2020 Reese's Senior Bowl Watch List, announced Wednesday. Thomas-Ishman begins his senior season with 34 starts in 35 career appearances on the left side of the offensive line, split between tackle (22) and guard (12).

Thomas-Ishman helped anchor the offensive line in 2018, starting all but one contest at left tackle. Collectively, the group protected for a squad that ranked 14th in FBS in passing offense (298.1 yards per game), 16th in passing efficiency (153.91) and 34th in total offense (437.6 yards per game). One year prior, the Philadelphia native helped the 2017 team average 30.6 points and 432.8 yards of total offense per game over the course of the season.
