Orlando, FL – The University of Central Florida (UCF) is preparing to host six football prospects during its third official visit weekend of the summer, a significant event for the program as it embarks on the recruitment journey for the Class of 2026. This visit weekend holds additional importance as it marks the first under head coach Scott Frost since his return to the program.

UCF has already secured eight commitments for the Class of 2026, making these official visit weekends crucial for building a strong recruiting class. The commitment from prospects is expected to grow in the coming weeks, as UCF looks to capture the attention of more potential athletes. The new recruits will help lay the groundwork for the future. UCF hopes to continue the momentum gained earlier this summer, where the 2026 recruiting class saw a doubling in commitments over a brief period.

During recent Big 12 meetings, Scott Frost highlighted the attractive features of UCF’s location, campus environment, and the supportive community. He emphasized that being genuine and authentic is key in recruiting efforts, which helps in attracting the right players who fit the program well.

Key Prospects Visiting

This weekend’s visitors include several committed players who have shown significant interest in the university. These prospects are:

Wortham: Committed to UCF earlier in April, Wortham has received several high-profile offers, including one from Georgia. He has future visits planned to Kansas State and Michigan State.
Kasiyah Charlton: A March commit whose family ties to the program, through his cousin Rashad Jeanty (former UCF defensive end), have heavily influenced his interest. Charlton has also received offers from schools like Tennessee and Kentucky.
Kymani Morales: This priority recruit for the coaching staff committed on March 1 and felt a strong familial connection with the program after visiting during spring practice.
Isaiah McNish: A valuable target for Frost at the running back position, McNish’s commitment intentions have been known for some time.

Upcoming Recruitment Strategies

On top of the current recruits, UCF plans to host another seven prospects during the following weekend. As the recruitment process evolves, maintaining the commitments from these predominantly underrated prospects will be critical, particularly as larger programs may actively seek to attract them.

Player Development and Draft Prospects

In related news, UCF cornerback B.J. Adams, who completed his college career with significant achievements such as two interceptions in his final season, is preparing for a visit to the Miami Dolphins. Adams showcased his potential at the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine, where he measured 6’2”, 182 pounds, and clocked a 4.53 in the 40-yard dash. Projections suggest that he may be selected on Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft, as assessed by industry analysts.

Conclusion

As UCF continues to solidify its strategies for recruitment ahead of the 2026 football season, the combination of committed players and the influx of new prospects could play a vital role in the continued success of its football program. The outcome of this visit weekend and the upcoming weeks will likely be formative in establishing a competitive team for years to come.
