UCF faces another rebuild at quarterback heading into 2026 season

On the same day that UCF signed two of its highest-ranked quarterbacks in program history, the Knights faced the loss of their starting quarterback.

Welcome to the world of college football.

It seems that UCF will enter the 2026 season with a nearly entirely new quarterback unit for the second consecutive year.

With the imminent departure of starter Tayven Jackson, who intends to enter the transfer portal for the third time, and the possible exits of seniors Cam Fancher and Jacurri Brown, redshirt freshman Davi Belfort could be the sole returnee to the quarterbacks group next season.
