USC transfer Jason Zandamela to visit UCF, working on finalizing Florida visit

'USC offensive line transfer Jason Zandamela will visit UCF on April 23 and 24, he tells On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

He also is in the works of finalizing a visit to Florida, which is expected to come sometime this weekend or early next week. Other schools that have stood out to him include Miami and Georgia, although no visits have been scheduled for either program.

Zandamela is reportedly looking to land somewhere closer to home. Being from Florida, visits to UF and UCF both check out in that regard."

Zero of the players that declared for Miami is a guy they could not afford to let go. Most, other than Hunt, would play very limited to no reps this year. Even second and third year guys were already lapped by more talented younger guys.

Malzon literally has failed to recruit OL since he’s been at UCF…a huge failure with destroying the QB room being #1.

Boys now going after another QB transfer…Miami’s former 4th string QB. What happened to all the QB’s Malzahn recruited at UCF? Not playing or developing anyone.

Losing season last year, another losing season this year and he is gone. Fired like he was at Auburn.

I won't lie. Missing on Kelly would be a setback. He has the desired measureables, is a schematic fit, and can physically compete for time in the playing rotation.

Missouri had a big year last year. I cannot fault the kid for wanting to play for a Gus protege' in the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen. I doubt he goes to Auburn, which just plucked an edge defender from Arkansas State.

Columbia is a h*ll of a long way from Fort Lauderdale. Culture is different, too. Time will tell.

Is Gus Malzahn planning to have a roster half made up of 3* DBs? Well?

Ohio State has zero interest in that player...

"Lynch-Adams initially declared for the NFL Draft on Dec. 1, 2023, but 11 days later, he removed his name from the draft pool and entered the transfer portal. On Jan. 14, Lynch-Adams announced an agreement with The Midnight Ride Collective to return to UMass for his final season."

"While he was in the portal over the winter, Lynch-Adams said he received interest from Ohio State, Florida State and Ole Miss."

Two CBs from Auburn hit the portal today. Malzahn loves anything from Auburn. They think that they want to go somewhere together and Malzon hired an Auburn guy (zero experience) as a CB coach. Two more CBs on the way for UCF. Well.

Not gonna lie... I really wanted this guy! I was disappointed when Bozo posted that he might be going to the League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Perfect fit physically and schematically for UCF!!! This is one u leftover that I happy to get.

Time told.

Now, if UCF can keep the kid's shoulder from falling off...

I want to address the two Auburn DBs that jumped in the portal today. I wasn't paying you any attention, and I had never heard of those two guys because I don't really follow Auburn recruiting anymore. That being said, the word out of Auburn is those two transfers are "straight ballers" and everyone around the Auburn program is "surprised" about their portal entries. I am not saying UCF or Trovon Reed is behind those transfers, but whatever team gets those two will be very fortunate.

Colton Hood was widely regarded as one of the next up young defensive backs for Auburn.

If Miami has all this talent why don't they ever win?? They honestly are always middle of the road every single year.

I hope you BOTH are right. I would GLADLY take the offensive lineman and the three DBs. UCF is going to need an ELITE secondary in the new Big 12. Colorado, Arizona, Arizona State, Iowa State, TCU, Utah, and Florida ain't scared to throw the football.

All these incoming safeties who cannot crack the two deep can play special teams or beef up and play linebacker or hit the portal. Everything will sort itself out. UCF just needs to get the best players out of the portal that it can get.

UCF has five scholarship DBs under 175 pounds soaking wet.
