UCF Knights adjust offensive line with new players at center and guard
Summary

The UCF Knights are experimenting with their offensive line ahead of the season opener against Bethune-Cookman on September 3. Connor Meadows has been shifted to center, while Owen Spell has taken the right guard position. This adjustment comes after UCF struggled in run-blocking last season, ranking 105th in Football Bowl Subdivision statistics. The team hopes this new combination can enhance performance, with transfers Henry Tabansi and Brady Wayburn expected to occupy key positions as well. Head coach Scott Frost praised Meadows' versatility and leadership as crucial for this new configuration.
