ORLANDO - The UCF Football recruiting class improved not once but twice today. Landing big-time safety and cornerback prospects Demari Henderson and Ja’Cari Henderson.

Their commitments were part of a spirited recruiting battle with numerous programs, including schools like Miami and Florida. While gaining another win over traditional in-state programs is hard to define, perhaps it's best left to UCF Head Coach Gus Malzahn to say what the twins committing to become a part of the UCF Football program means:

DOUBLE BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #ChargeOn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!#StateOfOrlando!!!!!

Inside The Knights will follow up with each of Demari and Ja’Cari today, as well as get videos and photos of them from practice and post another article later this evening.

In addition, UCF linebacker commitment Kameron Moore plays for Seminole High School. Look for his comments about being close friends with the twins from Moore, and also information about his own senior season.
