Rizk spent the last two years at UCF, tossing for 904 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions while completing 61.5 percent of his passes in 2024.

Plans to enter transfer portal Rizk plans to enter the NCAA Transfer Portal, Pete Nakos of On3sports reports.

Impact Rizk will move on from Central Florida's program amidst spring ball for many teams. The 6-foot-2 quarterback appeared in seven games across two seasons at the collegiate level, throwing for 932 yards, five touchdowns and two interceptions with the Knights. He will need to find a new team quick as preparation for the 2025 season has already begun for most squads.

Abysmal game in loss Rizk completed 11 of 27 passes for 118 yards and one interception during Friday's 28-14 loss to Utah. He also had five rushes for -24 yards.

Impact Rizk had a terrible game against the Utes, who completely contained UCF's passing offense. As usual, RJ Harvey was responsible for most of the team's production, and it's a mediocre ending for a team that had high hoped to begin the season. UCF struck out in the transfer portal with KJ Jefferson, so it wouldn't be surprising to see them look for another arm in the transfer portal. Rizk has some potential, but he failed to deliver consistently.

Tepid outing in loss Rizk was 11-for-21 passing for 172 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 31-21 defeat to West Virginia. He also had five rushes for negative eight yards.

Impact UCF ended their quest for a bowl with the loss, and UCF's struggles at quarterback are a key reason for the losing season. The struggles began with KJ Jefferson, then Jacurri Brown before finally relying on Rizk, who showed the cracks in his game after a couple of encouraging performances. The Knights are packed with offensive talent with one of the best running backs in the country, so missing a bowl is a huge disappointment for the team. They'll try to end the season on a good note against Utah, where Rizk is likely to get another start.

Solid game in narrow loss Rizk completed 24 of 34 passes for 229 yards and one interception during Saturday's 35-31 loss to Arizona State. He also had five rushes for -14 yards.

Impact UCF's offense looks markedly better with Rizk under center, but numerous penalties and missed opportunities on both sides of the ball forced a negative outcome against Arizona State. Rizk could not find the end zone despite an otherwise solid stat line, as RJ Harvey did most of the scoring.

Solves QB problem in blowout Rizk completed 20 of 25 passes for 294 yards and three touchdowns during Saturday's 56-12 victory over Arizona. He also had nine rushes for 55 yards.

Impact After struggling throughout the season with KJ Jefferson and Jacurri Brown, the Knights seem to have found their guy in Rizk, who put together a masterful line in the first start of his college career. Although the Knights have three tough opponents remaining, he may be able to propel them to bowl eligibility if they can go 2-1 down the stretch.

Slated to start for UCF Rizk will get the start for the Knights in Week 10 against Arizona, Matt Zenitz of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Rizk is in line to start for UFC, and he'll be its fourth starting gunslinger in 2024. The redshirt freshman has played sparingly this fall, appearing in two games and completing 7 of 11 passes for 102 yards and a score.

May start Saturday Rizk is in consideration for the start under center during Saturday's matchup with Arizona, Brandon Helwig of Rivals.com reports.

Impact Rizk looked good after entering last Saturday's loss against BYU following the benching of Jacurri Brown; throwing for 102 yards (6-of-10) and a touchdown in the contest. When asked about who would be under center against the Wildcats in Week 10, head coach Gus Malzahn declined to name a starter. UCF's quarterback situation will be something to monitor heading up until game time with either Rizk, Brown or both quarterbacks a possibility under center against Arizona.

Takes over as QB during loss Rizk was 6-for-10 passing for 102 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 37-24 loss to Brigham Young. He also had four rushes for 31 yards.

Impact The Knights ended the game with a flurry of production, and it happened while Rizk was running the show. The redshirt freshman's performance was probably one of the best showings by UCF quarterback this season, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him earn his first start against Arizona this week.
