A few examples of Duane Thomas JR being my star of the Saturday camp.
He was open every opportunity he got.
Btw, great connection from Barnett to Thomas on the 11v11 clip. Excited to see what they can accomplish 📈🔥
UCF QB coach McKenzie Milton wrapped up spring feeling good about the room, even without starter Alonza Barnett taking live reps.
“I won’t get into specifics on what’s going on with him, but I will say he’s really close to being full-go with the guys. Him and I, we’ve been throwing.
“So I’m not concerned at all about him not taking live snaps. The guy that played in the national championship last year didn’t take a snap in spring. It’s a new day and age in college football where there are a lot of external factors with monetary things, just being real. So we’ve got to protect our investment.
“He’s done a great job being in the fray with the guys. We’ve always been a close-to-the-vest operation when it comes to injuries. I was dealing with a whole bunch of things as a player, from ankles to shoulders, week to week, and you guys never knew a peep about it.
“So I won’t get into specifics. But he had a long season at JMU, and we knew about everything going in. He’s done a great job and is ready to attack the summer grind. He’s going to be our dude going into this season.”

Malachi Lawrence says every team asked him why he stayed all four years at UCF?
His answer to them was all the same: that wanted to grow into a leadership role.
As expected, #UCF's Board of Trustees approves the creation of the UCF Athletics Strategic Investment Fund and the allocation of $22.5M. Still plenty of work ahead to determine how funds are used.

With tons of grace and excitement I am more than honored to announce my segment for Big Noon Kickoff has been nominated for an EMMY award.
Firstly, thank you to God, Bruce Feldman, Tom Rinaldi, Adam Eaton & Trace Trylko @SonsofUCF, Robert Aronoff @Knights247 , my parents, UCF and the entire Fox Sports crew that worked incredibly hard.
To think a story featuring myself is being held to the highest standard is beyond belief and something I couldn’t imagine was possible.
But everyone of you have made it possible, forever in debt to you all supporting my dreams.
Now let’s win this thing!!🏆

Dabo Swinney: “I've always been against this idea of players as employees, but quite frankly that might be the best way to protect the collegiate model.”
Clemson coach Dabo Swinney says transfer LB Luke Ferrelli's agent told Clemson they'd turn over text messages for Clemson to use against Ole Miss -- IF Clemson added a second year for $1 million to Ferrelli's already agreed upon contract. Clemson GM Jordan Sorrells declined

@CollegeFBPortal The portal is a piece of technology managed by compliance officers and intended to allow schools a window to proactively recruit. That’s the only thing that opens and closes.
Prominent college officials are publicly encouraging the cap on athlete compensation to be lifted. In the boldest comments yet, Miami AD Dan Radakovich tells @YahooSports it’s time to “open the market.”
The $20.5M cap is “too low,” adds Notre Dame’s AD.
