He was a train wreck. UCF was held Kobe Hudson out of the spring. Even with Hudson out, Lawrence ran third team the entire spring. I think he caught two passes in the second scrimmage.
It's important to note the context.
Yes. Big in a few ways…perception of UCF continuing to grab highly touted guys making national news in the portal, who many other schools wanted for one. His brother is a 5* #1 Safety for next years class. Elite DBs are a position of need. Comparing to RB when only 1-2 get playing time (if no injuries), DBs are 4-5 guys at a time so depth is needed. And as mentioned, we’ve had a few transfers from Alabama that were drafted…
I guess a good backup plan? Not sure I like it enough to potentially scare current qbs to go to the portal
Not worried this year. All of our current backups have 4 or 5 years of eligibility. Jaccuri has 2 or 3 years. Now if Jaccuri wins the starting job next year, we could see our young QBs transferring out
He can resume the role of a qb from another FL school that rents a stadium and run the scout team
On film, I think he looks better than KJ. Anyone know for sure why he left Miami?
Not sure why we picked him up. Why not try to develop the other 3 juniors instead of brining in a band aid. I'd be shocked if he beat out KJ during the summer.
He was the 4th string QB. Needs to keep improving his accuracy. Probably fits best in an rpo offense. You are NOT watching film…you are watching highlights.
I don't think he will be given the chance to beat ourt KJ but I wish they would let him try because I think he looks better on his film.
People on here watch highlights and act like that’s the gospel. No one throws bad passes or drops balls ever on them.
Serious? BIG upgrade over Rizk and Trujillo….and 6” taller than Colson.
Nope, Jefferson’s job unless he gets hurt…..then we bring in a guy who is a better fit in the offense than everyone else (excepting Colson who should redshirt anyway since he missed a year of HS.
Wasn’t he leaving before bowl game anyway? They asked him to stay and play in bowl game. Maybe not but that’s what I thought.
Correct. No one brings in a quarterback in May to be the starter in August (although Gus did with Nick Marshall.)
Correct again.
Don’t see how, since Ward committed late since he was thinking about the NFL. Your story sounds more like Emory Jones, who was leaving UF but when Richardson needed surgery offered to come back and play against us in our bowl game in ‘21 against Mikey. Then Jones hopped back into the portal and went to Az St.
Of course not, just like people don't submit bad references. But the plays they make on film were made and that tells you a great deal about their potential, abilities and the way they play. At least that's my opinion.
Case Iin point: Xavier Williams.

No.
Best college running back room of all-time?
So UCF play calling will be 60+ rushes per game?
And I think we really can’t afford to have Richardson leave, we need that kind of speed on offense. Otherwise we don’t have anyone who can take the top off the defense.
In reality, Richardson’s speed has kind of been a myth his whole career at UCF. Obviously, he’s incredibly fast (of course). But Malzahn has never really found consistent ways to get him the ball in the open field - so his elite speed has been wasted. He probably would have been better served to play in a Scott Frost offense.
yeah his speed is kinda overrated. he's shifty and small so you kinda expect some wheels, but he's always getting caught from behind. when you see him moving out there you think you're going to see adrian killins, but it's more otis anderson (R.I.P.).
Agreed, and Richardson also does not have good footwork. How many times has he reached the second level in open field and he stumbles or takes a misstep?
