I saw him play several times last year and he reminded me a lot of what Milton looked like as a freshman, minus skill players who could help him out. This kid looks the part, and I thought he played with a lot of heart on a team that really didn't seem to have much. Time will tell. I like the idea of potentially having him and TC going forward, but my guess is that if he isn't the starter next year, he will transfer. But in the meantime, he will have two years to get better, with much better talent, especially on the OLine (knock on wood) and he would be only an ankle injury away from becoming the starter here. Either way it should give us time to help build up the depth at the position as we transition to the Big 12. As a few others have mentioned, it would be interesting to see if JRP can take the reigns and be above average as a passer. That would really give us time to develop depth at the position. I don't know if JRP is ready to make that jump, but if he is we should be a very dangerous out this year. I believe JRP has 2 years left, 3 at Ole Miss, one being the covid year, so he should have 2 seasons left.
I think Timmy should come home and Play for UCF.....USF QB Timmy McClain has entered the transfer portal
- Thread starter Knight_Classes_begin_7pm
- Start date
Watching McClain and Keene head to head, I felt like we missed out on the better prospect.
I’m more excited about TC’s future, but why say no to more QB depth? For McClain, this feels like he’s betting big on himself.

I do think what’s happening here is that he’s just using this opportunity as a free year to be home, to train and get better, since he’s not going to be able to play anywhere else this year anyway. I think the chances are pretty high that he transfers back out next offseason after his year at home. And given our situation, I’m fine with that.
This was my thought. He knows he has to sit out, but wants to work out in good facilities and get good coaching. He helps us on the scout team. This also builds more good will with Seminole High. This is just a layover with a opportunity for more. If after this year its obvious that TC is who we all think he is he can transfer out a year stronger and with a year of Gus and Chip coaching.
I saw somewhere McClain cited the atmosphere in the Bounce House was a reason for him to come to UCF.
Can’t wait to watch what happens when the Temple Terrace CC savior goes down with a knee or ankle injury in the beginning of the season. Who’s the third string QB? Do they have one? It’s going to be so fun to watch them sink even further into college football irrelevance!
I'm sorry, I didn't expect anyone to take that comment seriously. I just hope he doesn't carry Green Cow disease.
Wondering how the bulls pen is handling these comments.
fans that don’t do the research think both schools are similar but the Vibe is very different at UCF and not just on Gameday. The feel of campus and energy is very different.
Wondering how they are handling it on the Bulls Pen? They locked the thread in typical fashion.
Curious what he thinks of how Bohanon looked at usf Spring Game vs how JRP looked at UCF Spring Game. What's that, Bohanon didn't step foot on campus until this summer? Maybe not the same situation, then.
Guy who puts his name in ALL CAPS on Twitter… douche or no douche?
He is the worst about it but all Tampa/usf media are so weird when it comes to UCF. and a lot of USF fans are the same ..despite what has happened the last few years with our Program they are still condescending about UCF
Has there ever been a worse run football program than usf? UConn maybe? Maybe Kansas, but they’re a College basketball blue blood. Look at all the “little guys” who have excelled and passed them up, or at least on tier (I.e. their new conference mates lol). They really are a disgrace with some of the worst delusional fanbase in all of sports.
I think he was a victim of the COVID shutdowns. He didn't get a chance to visit any of the schools he was offered due to the restrictions, UCF offered him but Gus pulled it after he committed to USF. No sense in trying to turn a committed player if you've already got 2 QBs. He is a good QB as evidenced by the way he played last year. Will he take the reigns over? Who knows. There are 5 QBs ahead of him - Plumlee (Sr), Keene (So), Bohne (R-So), Castellanos (Fr), and Hansel (Fr). Next year's QB fight will be between McClain, Keene, and Bohne with competition from Castellanos and Hansel right behind them. At the very minimum, I expect to see some good competition in the locker room. I hope one of these QBs can win the locker room over and perform great on the field.
I believe JRP stays another year. I highly doubt Keene stays and doesn’t transfer but we will see I guess. Would love if McClain and TC could battle it out, that’s most likely scenario I can see.
I don’t understand the assumption that Castellenos is automatically better than McClain
Agreed, it could very well be a battle McClain wins. TC was as distant 2nd to Gus' first choice. We could even see him here someday
Oh no I wasn’t and didn’t forget him but he will need to redshirt as good programs need to recruit a qb every year and have them redshirt, unless you have missed on recruiting or signed that generational athlete/talent.
It would be a competition. Mcclain wasnt great but one thing he did well was keep his eyes downfield when the play broke down
