The hosts break down critical transfer portal signings on the offensive line and at receiver, discuss wideout targets like Tyron Horns, and explore how UCF’s roster is shaping up for 2026. Will a rebuilt supporting cast and Frost’s system propel the Knights up the conference hierarchy? Join the discussion on the Knights’ high-stakes offseason and the path to success in Orlando.
