UCF football recruiting: 2025 commit tracker and predictions

Ever since Gus Malzahn took over the football program at UCF the Knights have seen a "boom" in recruiting and it truly no question as to why. UCF has moved up in the recruiting ranks tremendously in the last four years.

Recruitment is so important in all college sports and probably the most important in football. Malzahn has seen what recruiting can do in his long coaching career. Granted recruiting is tough nowadays with the transfer portal and NIL.

Malzahn has learned to use NIL and being in Orlando, FL to his advantage when it comes to recruiting, and ever since UCF's football recruitment has gotten better and better.

As news breaks for commits, targets, and flips, we’ll update this tracker.

All rankings are per 247 Sports Composites
