Top prospects expected to attend UCF's spring game
The stars will be on full display in the Bounce House Friday night for UCF's spring game.
More than 200 players are expected to attend the "Citronauts vs. Knights" showcase, which will include one half of a scrimmage and be concluded by a skills competition.
Three of UCF's four Class of 2024 commitments are expected to be in attendance: DL Sincere Edwards, LB Samarian Robinson and QB Riley Trujillo. While it's still early, the Knights' 2024 class is currently ranked No. 30 nationally by Rivals.
Middle Tennessee defensive back Decorian Patterson, last season's FBS interception leader, announced Thursday he'll be transferring to UCF for his final season of eligibility. He'll be there along with his younger brother, 2025 cornerback Courtney Patterson who also has a UCF offer.
