season opener set Aug. 28 at Bounce House
New Knights Arrive, Ready to Joust in the Big 12
Welcome, UCF fans! Scott Frost, the head coach who’s back for his second stint, just opened the first session of fall camp at the cool‑air Wayne Densch Practice Complex. It’s Day 3 of the Big 12 transition, and the Knights are waking up with a fresh stack of talent—60+ new faces in the mix, all hunting for a higher place on the touchdown scale.
From A Cool Dungeon to a Sun‑Blessed Field
- Day’s kick‑off inside Nicholson Fieldhouse to dodge Florida’s sweltering 110‑degree heat index.
- After 30 minutes of indoor hustle, they hopped outside for 90 minutes of hoof‑shaking, high‑tempo football in the sunlit skies.
Coach Frost’s Pep Talk
“We’ve taken big strides since spring. The board‑room may be new, but the Knights show a real hunger,” said Frost. “These fresh‑in‑the‑arena guys have a chip on their shoulders, ready to prove they’re better than everyone’s expectations.”
Veterans Talk Team Spirit
Defensive tackle John Walker—back after a leg injury—highlighted the importance of leadership and cohesion. “It’s early, but you can feel the guys buying in. We’ve got a new group; it’s on us to set the standard,” he said.
Edge rusher Malachi Lawrence shared the reverberating excitement. “It was great. The energy out there was good, and we got after it today.”
Offense & Chemistry
Transfer sophomore Jaden Nixon, a Maxwell Award watch‑list name, emphasized the need to stick together. “We’ve got a whole bunch of new guys. I just want to build chemistry, win games, and leave a legacy,” he urged.
What’s Next?
Fall camp will keep rolling over the coming weeks as the Knights sharpen their playbook, gearing up for the season opener on Thursday, August 28. They’ll host Jacksonville State at 7 p.m. in the Acrisure Bounce House, ready to show the new squad what UCF football is all about.
