Don’t look now, but the 2023 recruiting class of UCF and Gus Malzahn is starting to pick up steam. In a five-day stretch over the last week, the Knights picked up four commits, including three-star quarterback Dylan Rizk and a four-star edge rusher Isaiah Nixon.
In addition to Rizk and Nixon, offensive tackle Jamal Meriweather and three-star tight end tight end Jayvontay Conner committed to the Knights.
Rizk was the latest of the high school players to commit to UCF. As a junior, he helped lead Fort Lauderdale, Fla. powerhouse Cardinal Gibbons to a championship, marking the school’s second title in a row and third in the last four seasons. He passed for 1,971 yards, 17 touchdowns and 10 interceptions and rushed 58 times for 456 yards and eight touchdowns, according to the Daytona Beach News-Journal.
