Was hoping to wait on news, but I’m very lucky to have worked with our staff & players at
@LibertyFootball
. There are not many leaders like
@CoachHughFreeze
. He is a winner in every aspect. I’ll cherish support staff friendships forever. Excited to get to ORL with
@UCF_Football
!
Proud of all our guys, but especially
@PlumleeJohn
. He’s had to earn everything, from everyone, everyday…& despite a lot of crap does it with a smile. Most wouldn’t have played & not only did he gut it out, he gave the boys a winning chance; guy is different. Bright things ahead
We have a (approx).000000007% impact on the election & 100% impact on our response to who wins. That response as believers will say more than our ballots.
As Christians, what defines us doesn’t divide us. If we identity with names on a yard sign rather than Jesus, we fail badly.
It shows a lot more about someone’s character that they are able to speak about things that are battling and overcome. What a lame take. Good luck

From our NFL Draft coverage: The

QB Matt Corral. They viewed his film as the best of all the QBs. But there was a lot more to sort through.
When

He spoke great stuff on mental health. As men, we want to be tough, but toughness is checking on your people & communicating emotions!
“Don’t be so narrow-minded that you think you were only made to be a football player”
Some casuals don’t get how insanely hard winning is in CFB & overlook this.
Gus amassed 100 wins in basically a decade. Top 15 in wins of active coaches with a decade of work is nuts.
He’s been a HC/OC 17 years in college without ONE losing season 🤯
Congrats
@CoachGusMalzahn
!
Because he’s too modest to speak on it…
@rjharvey07
took 💵 out of his own NIL deal & paid for this himself!
Obviously, NoBull hooked it up & made it easy/great deal. But, one of the first things RJ did when he teamed with NoBull was asking about his teammates.
He’s that guy!
We see Daunte’s name daily in walls all over
@UCF_Football
facility, but we have a 🐐 with us in real life tonight!
Great hearing him pour into our guys, and his insight on importance of being a close knit team…& trying to get answers on the

@criscarter80
debate!🤣
I’ve seen more “this is going to ruin college football” or “this is a great direction for CFB” about opting in/out bowls, the important of said bowls, the portal, & NIL.
A lot of y’all need to take a deep breath. CFB ain’t going anywhere & will work itself out. Be a fan,or dont.
Our football team is really good & I look forward to seeing national media give them respect. If there is more than one G5 ranked ahead of us I will riot. 2 P5 wins (upright away from 3) and a “top 10” win. Always fun to win the last one. What a season for a GREAT group of guys🔥
As Tom Brady and Drew Brees hug and say goodbye after a long talk on the field, Brady throws a touchdown pass to Brees’ son. One walks off to play in the NFC championship, the other stays to play with his kids.
Twitter needs to take one for the team and go offline for the evening. Give everyone a Monday social experiment. May even have to talk to the neighbors… on Nextdoor.

Trajectory of
@UCF_Football
the last month is insane: 📈
⚫️Retained nearly all eligible impact players
⚫️added ELITE caliber QB
⚫️signed best HS class ever
⚫️HUGE portal adds, especially LB
⚫️ added vet coaches while somehow keeping both coordinators
⚫️MAJOR off field staff adds
We love when

3 takeaways from this:
1) No Coach in the country other than
@CoachGusMalzahn
is cancelling youth camps & deferring those funds to players.
2) No QB in the country has ever asked for LESS NIL to help resign a roster.
3) You should be signed up for
@JohnRhysPlumlee
’s camp ASAP!
UCF QB and center fielder John Rhys Plumlee has partnered with Kingdom NIL to host a “day in the life” camp next month thanks to NIL.
He also asked the collective this spring to redistribute funds towards his teammates.

With NIL tomorrow, our

staff is NOT allowed to promote players’ businesses, products, or brands. However, I’m excited for the guys & look forward to seeing innovate ways they engage

communities through social media, endorsements,camps & more!
Isaiah wrote this 700 years before the birth of Jesus. The greatest and most preemptive save the date, name announcement and gender reveal of all time!! Jesus fulfilled all this and more.
Wishing yours a very Merry Christmas!
As bowl season is winding down: Let’s take a look at G5 teams that WERE in last
@AP_Top25
. All of them now have at least one loss. None of them have a higher ranked win than
@LibertyFootball
and none of them have more P5 wins than
@LibertyFootball
. So, now we wait. ⌛️
We don’t have many bad ones anyway, but you gotta assume it’s gonna be a great day when there’s a rainbow coming out of the facility when you pull in to the parking lot.
You are correct, that’s a game ball from the War on I4 - thank you for your support of our program/players and displaying toughness to so many Knights!
Omg I’m about to have a natural born cow.
@CoachGusMalzahn
sent me a football signed by him. Squeal!!! I think it’s from the usf game. I’m so happy this just made my day. Thank you coach and to
@SJTuohy
for. sending to me. I never had a real game ball. This is fantastic!!!
To start this season,
@LibertyFootball
had NEVER played on National TV. In a shortened season, we will not only play our 5th
@ESPNCFB
nationally televised game, but one of the two teams featured on
@CollegeGameDay
.
What a time.
If you think AD support doesn’t matter: this tweet generated more subscribers than anything we’ve had since our 1st month
Welcome new members, thanks for supporting the players!
& thanks to
@UCFKnights
leadership in Terry for understanding the landscape & committed to building!
BOWL UPDATE: still waiting to hear! A lot of variables at play, but will have better idea after Saturday’s games.
In the meantime, I have a call to action TO ALL OF KNIGHT NATION!
It is paramount now more than ever before to support our collective,
@KingdomNIL
!!
Of note for UCF fans, 40% of the top 10 offenses in the country this year in terms of total offense are either
@CoachGusMalzahn
, or his former OCs running similar concepts.
Shoutout to
@ChipLindsey11
,
@GJKinne
&
@rhettlashlee
for great seasons on that side.
Kind of a wild stat.
Ryan was such a fun dude. I only knew him as part of our staff at Arkansas, but I know he impacted a ton of people as a player on the field, but also as a friend off the field.
Praying for his fam, all the Hogs who called him a friend, and his high school team...dang this stinks
What I’ll say for Jordan is that he everything that was asked of him, every time. He treated everyone well.
He’s a great person from a GREAT family & I will be pulling for him wherever he ends up on the field & beyond.
Same thing with
@DrakeMetcalf60
. Love y’all & good luck 👊

The Texas Longhorns are promoting their 2024 signing class on billboards near their hometowns. Experts say it's a great opportunity to help the signees bolster their NIL early on.

Guys, truthfully you might want to mute me on Twitter for a day or two. I want to apologize in advance for the overload of
@LibertyFootball
tweets about our players and staff. Brace your self because your timeline is about to get..... lit up.
At this point, IMO
@UCF_Football
is a stone’s throw from being added to the MCO welcome message.
Professional + collegiate sports, coming to people mover near you!
Our community is ready to cheer on Orlando's Hometown Team.

Coach Jones and Greenwood High school always have been a great model for others. Everything to come from there has been A1... other than
@grantmorgan15
I guess?
Jamie, who has cerebral palsy, has been the Greenwood High School football team janitor since 2019.
He always wanted to play sports growing up, but he couldn't, so their state title winning football program rewarded him with a ring 👏

Shows a lot about our program to get an “overrated” chant on the road in the ACC in year 2 under

Really proud of the boys’ effort tonight - ball didn’t bounce the flames’ way. Awesome to watch the guys compete and can’t wait to see their response this week. 🔥
