This is the Black & Gold Banneret UCF Knights Football Transfer Portal Tracker for the 2021-2022 season.
The portal is a fact of life now in college football. With players having one free transfer under new NCAA rules, it stands to reason that UCF, and the rest of college football, will see much more player movement in the years to come.
So we’re going to track all of the comings and goings below and keep this page updated as the off-season continues. We will flip over to a new season once the 2022 football season commences. This includes the profile pages for the incoming players from their old schools’ sites.
Follow all the latest transfer portal moves here:
