Getting kicked off Josh Heupel’s UCF Knights helped turn around Raymond Cutts’ life

Raymond Cutts owes a great deal of gratitude to former UCF coach Josh Heupel for kicking him off the football team in 2020.

Cutts, a redshirt freshman defensive lineman from the 2019 signing class, was arrested twice in 2020, and spent one night in jail.

“While I was there, I was just thinking about football and all of the people I had let down,” Cutts said. “I was really thinking about my grandfather because I didn’t want him to find out.”

Both arrests stemmed from the same incident — burglary of a vehicle and a stolen gun charge.
