Interview was done via text (that was his preference) so not as lengthy as some. He seems to think Fisher is staying, though Frost has not announced anything officially regarding anybody from the previous staff.

New UCF coach Scott Frost has wanted to make clear all six of the prior commitments still have a place in this recruiting class. Miami (Fla.) Norland safety Bryon Brown, who flipped from FIU in October, got a call this past Saturday morning with that message.

"Coach Frost said that he's glad to have me," Brown said. "He said, 'Thanks for sticking through it all with UCF.' He said his vision for the upcoming season was to completely change things around quickly and get UCF back to how they used to be by recruiting players who really love the game and want to be a part of the program."

Brown said his commitment never wavered even amid the coaching uncertainty throughout the month of November.

"Not at all," Brown said. "I knew UCF would hire somebody who was experienced enough and knows what it takes to change the program around. As long as coach (Travis) Fisher was the DB coach I'd feel comfortable because I already know players up there and when I recently went to UCF for an unofficial visit it felt like home."

Brown said he was reassured when Frost told him that Fisher, who coached UCF's cornerbacks this past season, would remain part of the staff.

FIU, Illinois, NC State and Kent State have continued to recruit Brown, who did say he's open to taking other visits. Officials to UCF and FIU will be scheduled for January, Brown said.
