Taevion Swint - Set to join Watson atop depth chart Swint is set to join Duke Watson atop Central Florida's running back depth chart, Chris Boyle of the Daytona Beach News-Journal reports.

Impact Swint being one of Central Florida's top running backs next season would be a significant step up for him considering his 2025. Even though the redshirt freshman was readily available then, he did not log any rushing attempts. If the jump is real, Swint would be in line for a breakout season, as being a top-two running back would grant plentiful opportunities.

Alonza Barnett III - Planning to return this summer Barnett (undisclosed) will "be back by summer," he said in his first media availability since January, per the Daytona Beach News-Journal.

Impact Barnett has reportedly been able to throw, run and lift weights despite missing spring practice time. The quarterback appears very confident in his return this summer, which is an excellent sign that he'll be able to take the field for fall camp. The James Madison transfer is a dynamic dual-threat who tossed for 2,806 yards, 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions last season while rushing for 589 yards and 15 scores.

UCF's team is taking a cautious approach, which makes sense given that there is still much time before the Knights begin their 2026 season.
