This is the Black & Gold Banneret UCF Knights Transfer Portal Tracker for the 2023 season.
Players have one free transfer under new NCAA rules. 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 previous season concludes. This includes the profile pages for the incoming players from their old schools’ sites.
New this year: We are also tracking all sports — not just Football.
