UCF has been a transfer portal central around college football since Gus Malzahn came into town. Malzahn took the job in 2021 and ever since, everyone knows when the Knights land a big transfer or a big recruit by Malzahn's signature tweet that reads, "BOOM" with a lot of exclamation marks.
BOOM!!!!!!!!!! #ChargeOn!!!!!!!!!! #KnightVision25!!!!!!!!!!

In this past transfer portal class, UCF lost 27 members, but Malzahn was on top of his gain and broke even bringing in 27 players through the portal as well.
With the loss of players through the portal and to the NFL, Malzahn had his work cut out for him. However, he worked his magic and was able to bring in a lot of players to replace the wholes left by the transfer portal and NFL.
So here are all the players UCF brought in through the portal this past offseason by each position.
Quarterbacks
K.J. Jefferson: Arkansas
Jacurri Brown: Miami
