12/09/22 - Divaad Wilson, rSr/2023, Central Florida, 6-0, 190 (DS#24 FS) + More +

When the NCAA transfer portal opened this week, a flurry of Knights decided to enter it. But not UCF safety Divaad Wilson. Wilson is leaving the Knights, too, but he declared for the 2023 NFL Draft on Wednesday. Wilson is the first player for the Knights to decide to turn pro following this season in hopes of getting selected in April's draft. Wilson began his college career at Georgia before transferring to UCF ahead of the 2020 season.

The redshirt senior and Miami native still had one year of eligibility remaining because of the extra season granted to athletes by the NCAA due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but Wilson set his eyes on the next level. "I would like to thank the coaches, athletic trainers, medical staff and everyone in the football facilities of both the University of Georgia and University of Central Florida for helping [me] become the man I am today," he wrote. "You all motivated me to give my very best on and off the field." Last season, Wilson played in all 13 regular season games, starting 12 times at safety. Earning second-team all-AAC from coaches, he recorded 2 interceptions and finished fourth on the team with 72 tackles. Wilson's productivity fell slightly this year for the Knights, but he still found a way to force turnovers. - Orlando Sentinel

12/09/22 - Alec Holler, rSr/2024, Central Florida, 6-3, 242 (DS#37 TE) + More +

Like his quarterback John Rhys Plumlee, UCF tight end Alec Holler will be back next year for the Knights' inaugural season in the Big 12 Conference and that's welcomed news given the state of his position group. It will be Holler's sixth season of college football made possible by an extra year of eligibility granted to athletes by the NCAA due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Holler announced the move Thursday afternoon on The Shepherd Orlando 1270 AM radio station. "I love this team, this university, this school, the coaching staff, and all of my teammates," he said. "When I just think about the journey and how far I've come, it kind of came down to that God is kind of pulling me to come back for another year."

Holler said he informed UCF coach Gus Malzahn of his decision earlier in the day. He explained his reasons. "I love this place," he said. "I want to help be a leader going into the Big 12. It's not about any money. In the NIL space now, a lot of people are all about money. If it was about money, I would go start working or doing something else. "It's really about the dream of trying to do what's best to get me to the NFL, in terms of developing and coming back an even better player next year." - Orlando Sentinel

12/04/22 - KJ Jefferson, rSr/2025, Central Florida, 6-3, 247 (DS#999 QB) + More +

University of Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson warmed hearts on a cold day across the state by announcing on Friday he would return for his senior season in 2023. The draft-eligible redshirt junior from Sardis, Miss., has emerged as one of the nation's top quarterbacks in two seasons as the Arkansas starter. The Razorbacks are 15-8 in games Jefferson has started since the 6-3, 242-pounder took the reins in 2021. In the two games Jefferson missed this year, due to a concussion and a shoulder injury, respectively, the Razorbacks averaged 366 yards and 13.5 points in a 40-17 loss at Mississippi State and a 13-10 home loss to LSU.

With Jefferson in the lineup, the Razorbacks went 6-4, lost three games by two points and averaged 471.3 yards and 34.1 points per game. Jefferson has advanced into the top 10 in the UA record books in multiple categories, including fourth in touchdown responsibility with 63. The dual-threat quarterback owns the second- and third-best completion-percentage seasons in Arkansas history with his 68.3% this year and 67.3% in 2021. Feleipe Franks holds the school record with 68.5% completions in 2020. Jefferson can challenge that record with a strong performance in the Razorbacks' bowl game. - Northwest Arkansas Times

12/04/22 - Jaeden Gould, rJr/2027, Central Florida, 6-2, 205 (DS#999 SS) + More +

The highest-rated signee in Nebraska's 2022 recruiting class entered the transfer portal Friday, according to a program source. Freshman safety Jaeden Gould redshirted while appearing in the Oklahoma game. The 6-foot-2, 200-pounder has four years of eligibility left. A graduate of Bergen County Catholic High School in New Jersey, Gould arrived at NU as a consensus four-star prospect across the four major recruiting services. ESPN, 247Sports and On3 each had Gould as the Huskers' top-rated signee.

Gould is the third 2022 signee to enter the portal, joining inside linebacker Ernest Hausmann and receiver Decoldest Crawford. Utility backup offensive lineman Brant Banks entered the portal Thursday, and backup kicker Chase Contreraz entered the portal Friday. The transfer portal officially opens for all players on Monday. Because of a coaching change between interim head coach Mickey Joseph and permanent head coach Matt Rhule, Husker players get a special 30-day dispensation to enter the portal after the switch. It becomes moot Monday, when the portal opens until it closes in mid-January. - Lincoln Journal Star

Mikey Keene threw a 14-yard touchdown pass to Alec Holler with 20 seconds remaining to lead No. 25 UCF to a 46-39 win over South Florida on Saturday night and earn a spot in the American Athletic Conference championship game. Keene completed a 41-yard pass to Javon Baker for a first down at the South Florida 29. Keene added a 10-yard run on a keeper to get the ball to the Bulls' 15 and set up the game-winning play for UCF (9-3, 6-2 AAC). South Florida (1-11, 0-8) got the ball to the UCF 32, but the Bulls' Hail Mary attempt went out of the end zone. UCF scored on its first four possessions of the game to take a 28-0 lead midway through the second quarter. But South Florida stormed back, scoring 22 points in a 3:44 span of the third quarter to pull within 31-29, forcing two turnovers to set up touchdowns.

South Florida even took a 39-38 lead with 7:02 remaining in the game when Bulls quarterback Bynum Brown reeled off a 42-yard TD run off an option keeper. The Knights answered with a 13-play, 75-yard drive that ended with Keene throwing a 4-yard touchdown to Kobe Hudson to make it 38-29. Keene was 15 of 19 for 129 yards and two touchdowns. UCF starting quarterback John Rhys Plumlee had eight carries for 133 yards and a touchdown before he left the game with a pulled hamstring. He was also 9-for-9 passing for 73 yards and a touchdown. Brown threw for 140 yards and rushed for 109 and a touchdown. Brian Battie rushed for 144 yards and two touchdowns for the Bulls. - UCF/AP College Football
