UCF Coach Scott Frost Leads Quarterback Competition Amid Team Revival

Scott Frost returns to the UCF Knights as head coach in 2025 after gaining valuable experience as a senior analyst with the Los Angeles Rams under Sean McVay, where he learned innovative offensive schemes that he plans to implement. Frost and NFL legend Bill Belichick, now coaching at North Carolina in his first college season, share history in the NFL and will face off in September. Frost reunited with former UCF star quarterback McKenzie Milton, now his quarterbacks coach, a collaboration three years in the making that aims to develop UCF's quarterback room amid a competitive three-way starting quarterback battle involving Tayven Jackson, Jacurri Brown, and Cam Fancher. Frost expressed confidence in any of the three quarterbacks to lead the team but emphasized that the starter must earn the role, highlighting the ongoing competition for leadership and continuity. UCF's move to the Big 12 and Frost's prior success in turning around the program provide an optimistic backdrop for the 2025 season. The coaching staff and players alike are focused on building on past progress and addressing key challenges to elevate UCF's competitiveness.
