Florida was able to sign Jason Zandamela because Billy made an offensive lineman "retire" to free up a scholarship. Sure would be nice to see Patrick Barnett "retire" and become a taste tester for KFC to make room for a left tackle.

Lol…just look at RT. I won’t even go through the rest. Bro…anyone that thinks that 2 deep OL is anything but a disaster needs to have his/her head examined.

“Paul Rupelt, 40 game appearances”…started ZERO games and only played in garbage time, PAT (special teams) or few times at the goal line. If old head throws this dude out there to start…”SEC Trigger Man” will be eating dirt all day…getting punished anyways behind that line. Jajajajajjajaja.


Old head Malzahn spent all of UCF’s NIL on DBs, RBs and QBs. Lmao. What point is the Malzon shill trying to prove?

Lmao. As if a clown like you knows anything. Samson and Mauigoa are both former 5* recruits in their second year. Mauigoa was All American as a true freshman and started every game.

Rivers has been a starter for years and was an All ACC selection. Cooper is a two year starter at Miami. Carpenter was a starter in the Big ten for years.

From 247 Sports: “Outlook: Miami once again will feature a big, physical, and athletic offensive line group in 2024.”

I wasn't making a depth chart. My intent was to show the experience of returning UCF guys at all five positions AND the experience of transfers UCF brought in to play those positions.

As far as the depth chart goes, I like your list but I would flip Medley and Brooks because Brooks played 1,200 snaps at left guard and 1,200 snaps at center. So even though athletically he belongs on the right side, Brooks will feel more comfortable at left guard beside Kight to start the season.

I don't think Medley GAS he just wants to play.

From everything I have "heard" on podcasts (and not the actual coaches), etc., UCF does not want Kitler at center.

I expect the offensive line to change multiple times this season.

Kight, Brooks, Kitler, Marshall, Rubelt will start Game 1.

By Game 4 (CO), Knight, Medley, Brooks, Marshall, and Dorsey will be starting.

By Game 7 (Cincinnati) who knows? Could be all transfers...

Kight, Smith, Brooks, Marshall, Dorsey

Per the u article, "Spring Transfer Portal Outlook: This position group is in good shape."

If the u is in "good shape" with a combined 88 starts (9 of which came at the juco level) and 132 total game appearances, then UCF's OL is the 'strength of the team' with 105 combined starts and 235 game appearances.

From the article....

"Spring Transfer Portal Outlook: Miami is interested in landing a potential center of the future in USC transfer Jason Zandamela, who was the top center prospect in the country in the 2023 recruiting class."

How did that work out?

Yeah, I’ve always liked the idea of Kitler at Guard. At 295, he’s a little light for me at guard. But 10-12 additional pounds on his frame and we’re in business.

So all of the starters will be transfers?! So Gus Malzon and Herb Hand developing ZERO UCF OL recruits?! Got it!!!

How did that work out?

Zandamela wanted to start right away. That was not going to happen at Miami. Got it? Understand?

There are a total of ZERO OL players in the UCF roster that would make the Miami 2 deep. Zero, none.

The only reason Herb Hard has a job is because he’s a Gus Malzon lackey. Has signed a total of 7 high school OL recruits in three full classes. He has developed nobody.

UCF’s OL is in shambles and big boy there rapping and doing the “worm”. Clown.

The starting center? The right tackle?

 

[LoboCane]

What starting center? Kitler? He literally can’t play…that’s why Malzon brought in Brooks from FCS Samford (can’t play either).

What right tackle? The German dude with “40 appearances” and ZERO starts? A Heupel recruit and a guy that would literally get the QB abused in every passing down IF they play him. Welp. LOL.

Malzon and Hand with, by far, the worst OL in the big 12. Old head spent all of UCF’s NIL money on RBs, DBs and QBs.

Keep posting nonsense and taking L’s Gus Malzon stooge. Miami’s OL ranked #8 in the country by ON3 but the homunculus doesn’t like it. LOL.

It is not a "debate." Either a guy has a start at a position or he doesn't. Neither of these two players have ever started an FBS contest.

Ok peckerhead, all these predictions are saying the u has a great starting offensive line. Four projected starters have received all-conference honorable mention.

That is not remotely what I am laughing about.

No prediction--NOT ONE--says the u has a "deep" offensive line.

UCF had four different centers start last year because of injuries. The u has one FBS-caliber center, a transfer, on its roster.

What happens to "On3's No. 8th-ranked offensive line" if one, two starters become injured?

I can tell you what happens. This happens...

KJ Jefferson at 270 pounds should be moved to the UCF O-Line…probably would start there given the lack of any quality player in the Hand/Malzon OL.
