UCF Hat - LaFavre

Just figured I'd let everyone know. This guy is a small business owner; I believe he's a gata alum (boo), but he makes some pretty cool stuff (lots of Jags stuff - Trevor Lawrence is a big fan). He's based in Jax and he's been getting some collegiate licenses. He just dropped 2 UCF hats this morning. I picked up the black one.

Check him out.

OT: Wisconsin uproar over a decommitment and so-called "NIL agents"

I've been semi-following this (that may be too strong of a word) because I was following Syracuse LB Leon Lowery, thinking he could be a UCF target.

Lowery visited Wisconsin over the weekend, committed on Sunday during the visit and then on Monday decommitted. He tweeted this when he decommitted:

"Stand on what you believe in and know your worth."

He has also publicized the fact he has "NIL agents." On3 has also been promoting these guys in relation to Lowery.

There is no such thing as "NCAA certified" NIL agents.

Not exactly sure what the end game here but Wisconsin fans are bigly mad about this.

Who gets the G5 NY6 spot? SMU or Liberty?

Committee had Liberty ranked, but not SMU.

AAC has almost always been the representative and SMU has that ACC shine on them now. Their only losses were Oklahoma and TCU.

Liberty was undefeated, but look at that schedule. Woof.

P.S. Josh Linam is the LBs coach at Liberty.

***UCF Transfer Portal News - Monday Recap***

As of 7 p.m. Monday night, five UCF players are in the NCAA Transfer Portal:

CB Fred Davis
RB Jordan McDonald
OL Drake Metcalf
WR Jaylon Griffin
WR Tyler Griffin

CB Fred Davis, a transfer last year from Clemson, did not play this season.

RB Jordan McDonald was a valuable player on special teams, but was buried in a deep RB room. He is looking for more playing time.

UCF recruited Drake Metcalf out of Stanford last year in hopes he'd lock down the starting center job, but he struggled with snaps/movement and was benched not long into the season.

WR Jaylon Griffin has seen limited playing time over the past three seasons.

WR Tyler Griffin has played mostly special teams.

There will be more portal additions, but the buzz coming out of the weekend is UCF has done a pretty good job in retaining most of their key returning players. You can read that update here:

UCF's first visit weekend (Dec. 1-3) included several transfers, a JUCO and two high school recruits. Here's that list:


===

Texas Tech QB Tyler Shough was among UCF's weekend visitors and he flew immediately to Louisville for his next OV which started today (Monday).

It is believed he will make a decision on a quicker timeline. Will there be another visit after Louisville? That is not clear.

I broke down UCF's returning 2024 roster and where the biggest needs will be. That can be accessed here:

***Division II WR/KR lands UCF offer***

Donte Lee Jr. from Shaw University in NC.

6-3, 180. Originally from Baltimore.

He was an All-Conference KR.

Lee ranked second in kick return yards per game (25.1) and had the longest kick return (98 yards/TD) in the CIAA this season. He also had 26 catches for 402 yards and three touchdowns, including an 85-yard score which was the second-longest reception in the conference.
