Loses out in QB competition Keene is expected to open the season as UCF's backup quarterback after head coach Gus Malzahn announced Sunday that John Rhys Plumlee will begin the 2022 campaign as the Knights' s...

Impact Keene was the Knights' top returning quarterback from the 2021 campaign after completing 63.3 percent of his attempts for 1,730 yards, 17 touchdowns and six interceptions to go with one score on the ground as a true freshman, but Plumlee, a transfer from Ole Miss, was likely viewed as a potential upgrade over Keene due to his elite athleticism and rushing ability. Before converting to wide receiver late in his career at Ole Miss to make room for eventual NFL third-round draft pick Matt Corral, Plumlee started eight games at quarterback as a true freshman in 2019 and accounted for 16 total touchdowns and 1,023 rushing yards. Plumlee will likely need to show more proficiency as a passer to hold down the starting job for the balance of the campaign, as Keene represents a proven alternative that Malzahn could turn to if things go south with the Ole Miss transfer.

Top backup QB for opener Keene is listed as the top backup quarterback for the Knights for Week 1, Ryan Bass of 10 Tampa Bay reports.

Impact As a true freshman, Keene has done enough to sit above Quadry Jones and Joey Gatewood -- a recent transfer who may not be up to speed -- on the depth chart. If he can maintain that spot ahead of the other two, Keene could be positioned as the successor for Dillon Gabriel under center.
