UCF football started preseason training camp on August 3, preparing for the upcoming season opener against Bethune-Cookman. Following a July 31 injunction by Judge Charlotte Sweeney, athletes in the class of 2022 can explore a fifth year of eligibility. Coach Scott Frost mentioned that while they are considering potential roster upgrades, it remains too early to finalize any decisions. Players like Cole Kozlowski and Phillip Dunnam, who qualify under this ruling, have not publicly indicated intentions to return. Frost emphasized the importance of maintaining team culture when evaluating new additions.
