School is out, so it's officially summer visit season.

Official visits are now allowed to take place April-June before a prospect's senior year, but since the majority of UCF prospects will be from Florida/Georgia it's expected the staff will save those OVs until the season or next December/January.

Savannah (Ga.) Memorial Day School athlete Winston Wright tweeted on Wednesday night that he'd take an official to UCF later in June, but clarified on Thursday morning that it will be an unofficial instead.

"Yeah, I talked with the coaches this morning and we feel it's best to save (the official visit)," Wright said. "I'll still be there in a few weeks for an unofficial visit though."

That said, a slew of prospects are expected to visit in the coming days. Here's what I've gathered so far from players who have reached out to say they're visiting - I'm still awaiting word from others and will update when needed.

Friday Visitors:

Miami-Norland linebacker Darius Williams is excited to see UCF after picking up an offer a couple weeks ago. Other offers include Miami, South Carolina, USF, Syracuse, Georgia, Arkansas, FIU and Bowling Green. "I don't know too much about UCF yet, but from the videos I like the team spirit, the chemistry and the vibe on campus," Williams said.

Orlando-Jones DE Raymond Cutts got his UCF offer a couple weeks ago. He tweeted about the visit on Wednesday, later adding, "My hometown team UCF showing lots of good love." Other offers include Tennessee, Southern Miss, Auburn, Baylor, Wake Forest, NC State, Iowa State, Clemson, USF, Maryland, Minnesota and Louisville.

Orlando-Edgewater athlete Robert "R.J." Harvey Jr. may be listed by Rivals as a dual-threat quarterback, but his UCF offer is as a running back. He was also among this week's offers. Chris Hays of the Sentinel caught up with him on Wednesday night. (When I messaged him I told him I'd rather catch up with him after his visit). His offer sheet also includes Georgia Tech, Troy, UAB, ECU, Virginia, North Carolina, Navy, FAU, Syracuse and several others.

Orlando-Windermere Prep safety Khadry Jackson got an offer from UCF a few weeks back and also has recently added offers from Nebraska, USF, Rutgers, NC State, Iowa State, Tulane, Missouri and Maryland along with a bunch of others. He says he has a really high interest in UCF - one of his best friends is Kenan Johnson and his cousin is Largo DB Solomon Brown, who are both also visiting on Friday.

Largo safety Solomon Brown also got a UCF offer this week and made sure to denote that it came from the "National Champions." He is taking an official visit to Minnesota the following weekend (June 8). Other offers include Iowa State, Iowa, FIU, FAU, Colorado State, Indiana, Cincinnati, Rutgers, Syracuse and Boston College. He's friends with UCF DB Zamari Maxwell, who is also from Largo. Brown previously visited during spring practice.

Folkston (Ga.) Charlton County WR Raykwon Anderson has long been a top UCF target - he visited in February and then again for the spring game telling me then, "I really love UCF's fast tempo offense." His offer sheet includes UConn, Tulane, Florida, Kentucky, Marshall, Maryland, North Carolina and Purdue.

Saturday Visitors:

Homestead LB Jeremiah Jean plans to take an unofficial visit with his dad. He's really excited about it. "I like everything about UCF," he said. "The people, the campus, the facilities. It's a great school. Can't wait to see it all in person." Yesterday he got an offer from Georgia Tech which joins ECU, UConn, Wake Forest, Colorado State, FIU, Marshall, Temple and a bunch of others. His UCF offer arrived in April.

Rockledge LB Octavius Brothers Jr. will be on campus to take part in the 7-on-7 camp. He's high on UCF and attended the spring game.

"What stands out most to me is their graduation rate and how they focus on the student's education just as much as their athletics," Brothers said. "UCF is definitely a leader for me right now. It's still early in my recruitment so any school still has a chance."
