UCF Knights Seek Redemption in Frost's Bounce House Return
24 Aug
Summary
- UCF's 2024 season was dismal at 4-8, but the team has 69 new players and an overhauled coaching staff
- Head coach Scott Frost is more optimistic about the team's potential than most prognosticators
- The Knights' defensive line and rushing attack are expected to be strengths this season
As of August 24th, 2025, the UCF Knights are gearing up for an unpredictable season under head coach Scott Frost. The team is coming off a dismal 4-8 showing in 2024, but Frost holds more belief in his group's potential than most prognosticators.
The Knights have undergone a significant overhaul, with 69 new players and a revamped coaching staff. Frost is set to make his long-awaited return to the Bounce House on August 28th when UCF hosts Jacksonville State to kick off the season.
Despite the team's struggles last year, Frost and his staff are optimistic about the Knights' chances in 2025. The defensive line, led by returning pass rusher Tre'mon Kelly, is expected to set the tone and create opportunities for the rest of the defense. Additionally, the one-two punch of running backs Myles Montgomery and Jaden Nixon should provide a potent rushing attack.
However, the Knights' passing game remains a major question mark, and their schedule is filled with toss-up games in the unpredictable Big 12 conference. Frost and his team will need to avoid another midseason meltdown if they hope to return to a bowl game this year.
