UCF poised to wrap up relatively strong 2021 recruiting class amid uncertainty

The school is without an athletics director after Danny White left to take the AD job at Tennessee. The football program is without a head coach after Josh Heupel left to join White as the Volunteers’ new coach.

Despite the uncertainty, UCF enters Wednesday with a recruiting class ranked No. 54 in the nation and fourth in the American Athletic Conference, according to the latest 247Sports.com composite rankings.

The Knights signed 19 commitments during the early signing period in December, with 10 of the players already on campus after enrolling for the spring semester. With few scholarships available and much of the coaching staff in limbo, there seemed little left to do.
