UCF Depth Chart Notes

While many articles you see will focus on Arkansas transfer KJ Jefferson, we will focus on some other positions. First and foremost is the backfield for UCF. The Knights have a plethora of running backs that are extremely talented. RJ Harvey, Johnny Richardson, and Myles Montgomery have all proven they can run the football well, with Harvey totaling 250+ yards in two games. Richardson and Montgomery also both have 130+ yards on the season. The expected return of Paul Oyewale could prove to be vital to TCU shutting down an impressive run game.

Looking at the defense, there isn't a player that jumps out to you, largely because UCF hasn't faced a quality offense yet. On paper, the entire defense swarms to the ball effectively resulting in a lot of assisted tackles. Braeden Marshall will be someone that the Frogs have circled as he leads the team in solo tackles so far this season.
