Summary

Three UCF football alumni are competing in Super Bowl LX.
Two players are on practice squads, one injured.
The Super Bowl kicks off Sunday evening at 6:30 p.m.

Super Bowl LX features three former UCF Knights football players vying for a championship. Out of 15 UCF alumni who entered the NFL playoffs, only Amari Kight, Richie Grant, and Shaquill Griffin reached the league's final game.

Amari Kight, an offensive lineman, was signed by the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted free agent. He saw action in five games this season, including a playoff win, but a knee injury placed him on injured reserve, making him unavailable for the Super Bowl.

Safety Richie Grant, who played for UCF from 2016-2020, initially signed with the 49ers but was later picked up by the New England Patriots' practice squad. He participated in one game this season and remains on the practice squad, thus not playing in the Super Bowl.
