Available for Week 8 Brown (shoulder) is available for Saturday's game against West Virginia.

Impact As for Central Florida, Cam Fancher (undisclosed) out Saturday indicates that Brown may be starting quarterback then. UCF's most proven yet healthy QBs include both him and Tayven Jackson.

Questionable for Week 8 Brown (shoulder) is questionable for Saturday's game at West Virginia.

Impact Brown hasn't played in the last two games, but even when he's available, he barely sees the field. Through three appearances, he's completed three of five passes for 97 yards while posting a 1:1 TD:INT.

Doesn't play vs. CIN Brown (shoulder) didn't end up playing in Saturday's outing against Cincinnati.

Impact Brown had previously been mentioned as a possible starter for the contest if Tayven Jackson (undisclosed) were to sit. However, Cam Fancher drew the start while Jackson served as the Knights' No. 2 QB. It's unknown if Brown's spot on the depth chart was due to his lingering shoulder injury, but his status will be monitored for next week. The 6-foot-4 quarterback has appeared in three games this season and thrown five passes.

Warming up pregame Brown (shoulder) is warming up ahead of Saturday's game at Cincinnati, Keegan Nickoson of BearcatJournal.com reports.

Impact Brown, who is officially considered a game-time decision, is participating in pregame warmups. It's unlikely he plays even if he's able considering Tayven Jackson is available, but Brown is at least close to being healthy and available.

OCTOBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Will be a game-time decision Brown (shoulder) is listed as a game-time decision for Saturday's game at Cincinnati.

Impact Brown had been mentioned as possible starter for the Golden Knights this week, but this shoulder injury has put that up in the air. Tayven Jackson on the other hand has been cleared to go in this one and seems likely to start once again at QB.

OCTOBER 11, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Week 7 Brown (shoulder) is questionable to play Saturday at Cincinnati.

Impact It's uncertain who will start under center for UCF in this match, but the questionable tag suggests that Brown should be an option to play. A decision on his status will be made closer to Saturday's 12 p.m. ET kickoff.

OCTOBER 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as possible starter Brown (shoulder) is listed on the team's depth chart as a possible starter ahead of Saturday's matchup against Cincinnati, Andrew Cherico of 247Sports.com reports.

Impact Brown listed along with Cam Fancher as possible starters behind Tayven Jackson (undcilosed) whose status is still unclear for this matchup. The 6-foot-4 quarterback missed last week's game as he was recovering from a shoulder injury but his inclusion in the team's depth chart bodes well for his chances of being available.

Hopeful to return in Week 7 Brown (shoulder) is hopeful to be available for UCF's clash with Cincinnati in Week 7 according to head coach Scott Frost, per Matt Murschel of the Orlando Sentinel.

Impact Brown wasn't available for the Knights' loss to Kansas on Saturday. With starter Tayven Jackson banged up against the Jayhawks, UCF's quarterback situation is in flux heading into Cincinnati week. The only confirmed healthy gunslinger is third-stringer Cam Fancher.

Out vs. Kansas Brown (shoulder) isn't available for UCF's clash with Kansas.

Impact With Brown out, the Knights will likely turn to Cam Fancher if they need to use a backup quarterback against the Jayhawks. Otherwise, Tayven Jackson should handle the gunslinger duties for UCF.

OCTOBER 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Officially questionable for Week 6 Brown (shoulder) is questionable to play against Kansas on Saturday.

Impact Brown's status won't be known until later in the week, and the questionable tag suggests that the signal-caller could very well end up being ruled out after sustaining an AC strain in Week 5. However, he's the third-string quarterback, so he's not likely to see a consistent role even if available, meaning his status shouldn't affect many fantasy decisions, especially with Tayven Jackson (shoulder) available and ready to roll for Saturday.

Status remains in question Brown (shoulder) remains a question mark heading into Week 6 against Kansas, per Matt Murschel of the Orlando Sentinel.

Impact Brown suffered an AC strain against Kansas State while filling in for injured starter Tayven Jackson. Both gunslingers remain questionable for Saturday night against Kansas, and if neither is available, Cam Fancher would likely get the nod under center.

Suffers shoulder injury Brown (shoulder) suffered an AC sprain in his shoulder during Saturday's 34-20 loss against Kansas State, Matt Murschel of the Orlando Sentinel reports.

Impact Brown, who briefly appeared in relief of starter Tayven Jackson (shoulder), suffered an AC joint sprain in his shoulder that forced his exit from the game. The 6-foot-4 redshirt junior threw for 82 yards (1-for-2), one touchdown and one interception, adding on five rushing yards in what was a wild relief appearance. Brown's status moving forward remains uncertain ahead of next week's game against Kansas.

SEPTEMBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Scores twice in first playing time Brown was 2-for-3 passing for 15 yards during Saturday's 68-7 victory over North Carolina A&T. He also had five rushes for 106 yards with two touchdowns.

Impact With the game out of reach, Brown took over the offense from Tayven Jackson for the second half of Saturday's game. He only attempted three passes but scored two rushing touchdowns from 60 yards and 15 yards out. He's still the third string quarterback behind Cam Fancher (back) and Jackson, but his rushing ability gives him value if Jackson sustains an injury and Fancher remains out.
