UCF QB Dylan Rizk plans to enter transfer portal

UCF quarterback Dylan Rizk is set to enter the transfer portal, a source tells On3. He started four games for the Knights in 2024, finishing the season throwing for 904 yards and five touchdowns.

Rizk started in Gus Malzahn’s last win at UCF, coming against against Arizona. The Delray Beach native threw for 294 yards, rushed for 50 and contributed three touchdowns, including a Hail Mary touchdown pass on the final play before halftime.

New UCF head coach Scott Frost brought in Indiana quarterback Tayven Jackson and FAU quarterback Cam Fancher shortly after taking the job. Rizk stayed to compete for the job in the spring. Now he will be exploring his options in the spring portal. He is a former three-star recruit.

“I wouldn’t say one guy, in particular, has stood out. Each guy flashes, and then each guy makes a bonehead play that we’ve got to clean up. It’s still early in this process,” UCF first-year QBs coach McKenzie Milton recently said.

“Two things you can always control; that’s your attitude and your effort. These guys have come in with the right attitude every day, and they’ve been busting their butts out there. Still a lot to clean up from all five guys in the room, including myself as a coach.”
