UCF represented everything Noah Vedral wanted in a school.

In many ways, it was the perfect situation for the Nebraska quarterback. The Knights are coached by Scott Frost, whose background as a former prep star in Nebraska mirrors Vedral, himself a multi-sport athlete. There are the ties to the University of Nebraska. Vedral's father and three uncles played for the home-state Huskers, a couple of whom were teammates of Frost. On top of that, Vedral had grown up a big fan of Oregon and their offense, dreaming one day he could play in that system.

That came to a realization last week when he committed to play for Frost and UCF.

Earlier this week, UCFSports.com caught up with the Wahoo (Neb.) Bishop Neumann star to talk about his decision.

First off, can you describe how you first came to know Scott Frost? I did some reading about your background and I know that you attended quite a few camps last summer, including one at Oregon. Is that when the connection first started?

"My relationship with Coach Frost first started at that Oregon camp. I had never met him before. Obviously growing up in Nebraska you hear all the crazy stories and have seen the highlights of all those games. I first met him at the Oregon camp and he was the first coach to take a real serious look at me as a Division I quarterback. He pulled me out with an elite group of kids over the lunch hour one day at camp. It was the first time I got to work with him in a one-on-one setting. We then went out and visited Eugene another time, just an unofficial visit to see him there. We learned then he may not be around Oregon too much longer because there was a good chance he'd have a head coaching opportunity."

I know you visited UCF this past March. I believe spring practice had first started. Had Frost and UCF reached out and encouraged you to take a look? How did you like it then?

"I loved the visit. The City of Orlando is just a really clean town, the roads are nice, stuff like that. Even just driving up to campus was nice. When we got on campus, with 50,000 kids going there, you know they have money to take care of the campus and keep it really nice. I love the layout. What sold me was the football. I got to see them practice and saw how Coach (Mario) Verduzco coached his guys. The tempo of it I really enjoyed. I like it and I think it would be great for me. I got to talk to Frost a little bit again, which was really helpful and fun. That visit went really well."
