Samuel Jackson is a Knight

UCF got faster, and much bigger, on Monday.

The Knights secured their fourth offensive line commit from Samuel Jackson, a 6-foot-6, 310-pound tackle from Bradenton's Lakewood Ranch High School. The three-star prospect made things official during an unofficial visit to campus, issuing a tweet shortly after 3 p.m.:

Jackson had been leaning the Knights' direction for quite some time. He was a visitor earlier in the spring and also attended the individual camp in early June.

"I really enjoyed working with Coach (Greg) Austin at the camp," Jackson said back then. "I really love the entire campus and how the coaches take care of their student-athletes. The coaches are great. I really enjoy UCF every time I visit. They have shown me the most love so far."

Jackson, who also had offers from Miami and USF, is the 14th player to commit in the Class of 2017 and joins an offensive line group that also includes Julio Castillo, Viktor Beach and Sebastien Dolcine. UCF could be done recruiting at that position for this recruiting cycle.
