Episode Notes

Scott Frost and Mackenzie Milton are reshaping the quarterback room at UCF, and it's turning heads across the college football landscape. In this episode, we dive deep into UCF’s latest QB commit, Dante Carr, and his potential future battle with Kane Archer. Carr, a 6’4”, 220-pound dual-threat from Minersville High School in Pennsylvania, brings elite size and athleticism but is still flying under the radar with only a handful of FBS offers. His maturity, honesty, and commitment to development set him apart.

We explore Carr’s recruitment journey and his strong connection with the UCF staff. The coaching duo’s candid approach gave Carr confidence in their vision, making UCF an ideal destination to grow into a Power 4 starter. Despite other schools wanting him as a tight end or linebacker, Carr affirmed he's a quarterback first.

We also examine how this new QB room, featuring Carr, Archer, and transfer Davi Belfort, is shaping up. Will UCF lean into homegrown talent or continue to use the transfer portal? Plus, a breakdown of the athletes heading to Big 12 Media Days—including surprise selections—and what that says about UCF’s new direction.
