UCF transfer class:
QB Xavier Williams - Has not played
LB Rian Davis - Has appeared in 7 total games, but has struggled. His only Big 12 game with significant playing time at Kansas.
LB Isaiah Paul - Played two snaps vs. Kent State and has not played since
CB Decorian Patterson - After seeing sparse playing time early, has been a regular contributor in the last 4 games
WR Corey Gammage - Suffered a preseason eye injury (and also said to be out of shape) and has not been seen this season
C Bula Schmidt - UCF's starting center (of sorts). It seems UCF wanted to go back to Drake Metcalf vs. Cincinnati only to pivot back to Bula.
S Jireh Wilson - Regular contributor
SCB DeJordan Mask - Would have been UCF's starting nickel, though struggled with a shoulder injury and just shut it down to have surgery. He ended up playing in six games.
LG Marcellus Marshall - Starter
RT Amari Kight - Starter
CB Fred Davis II - Played a couple defensive snaps vs. Kent State and has played in 4 games on special teams
LS Gage King - Starter
C Drake Metcalf - It's complicated (Began season as starter, benched, reinserted, benched again)
WR Chauncey Magwood - He was injured for UCF's first two games, then played the next four (Villanova, K-State, Baylor, Kansas) then "opted out" as he wanted to preserve his redshirt by only playing in four games. It seems like he will go into the portal, but unless he can graduate he'd have to sit out a year if he goes FBS (he was a true freshman in 2021, so that could be doubtful). I suppose it's possible he returns, but I'd be surprised.
WR Trent Whittemore - Starting to play more, especially with Magwood opting out and Xavier Townsend injured.
