UCF added another piece to its 2021 recruiting class with the commitment of defensive tackle Matthew Alexander.
The Knights have not been able to hit the road and burn up the recruiting trail because of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, but that hasn’t stopped the coaching staff from building the foundation for a strong 2021 recruiting class.
Football programs have had to rely on videoconferencing, phone calls or Face Time meetings with high school recruits and their parents as the NCAA continues to extend recruiting dead periods to promote safety.
“It’s given you a lot more time to develop relationships with the recruits in terms of how you’ve been able to connect with them,” first-year UCF co-offensive coordinator and tight ends coach Alex Golesh said during a videoconference with reporters in May.
