Miami Central wide receiver Lamar Seymore was among the star-studded group of official visitors for UCF's marquee recruiting event, Bounce House Weekend.
Seymore has been a long-time University of Miami commitment, but has been keeping an open mind to other schools. He's always been intrigued by UCF.
"It was amazing," Seymore said of the visit. "I liked it a lot. My favorite part was probably hanging with the coaches and football players."
His player host was wide receiver Amari Johnson, who is also from Miami.
"I know him well," Seymore said. "He played at Carol City. He was basically just telling me how they operate, stuff like that. How they schedule things."
He enjoyed spending time with wide receivers coach Grant Heard. He's a new addition to UCF's staff this year, but Seymore actually had a pre-existing relationship with him.
"I knew him when he was at Indiana," Seymore said of Heard. "He used to come to my school and talk to me all the time. He offered me up there too. He was talking about how he needs me at UCF now. We just went over film actually. He said when I first come in he's gonna have me at a certain position, then when we get it rolling he's gonna move me around."
The weekend included a variety of games and competitions, including dodgeball, cake and watermelon eating contests and karaoke.
"I enjoyed the competition part," Seymore said. "You can tell they're competitive. That's what I like about (UCF). They compete to win."
How did his team perform?
"We won some games, but came in third overall," Seymore said. "It was good though."
What stands out about UCF?
"I like that it isn't too far from home," Seymore said. "They're competitive. The atmosphere is really good. The Bounce House is really good. I'd love to play in that atmosphere."
If he were to come to Orlando, he would be part of UCF's inaugural Big 12 team in 2023.
"They're trying to do big things," Seymore said. "That's what I like. They're going into a bigger conference and playing bigger people. They're trying to show they're one of the top programs too."
Seymore wasn't sure about his recruiting plans for the rest of the month, though he believes he'll be taking an official visit to Pitt on June 16.
