Obviously 2022 is not yet finalized.
These are the recruiting class rankings ON PAPER which as we all know don't mean anything. UCF's previous best class was 2011, but that was largely due to the signing of QB DaMarcus Smith, who didn't even qualify and resulted in the program being put on probation. GOL's first classes were lowly-ranked, but had some really great players come out of them.
The previous second and third best classes were 2003 (51) and 2019 (52).
