Latavius Murray - RB - Golden Knights

UCF RB Latavius Murray has received interest from Oakland Raiders, Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals.

Murray is a bigger back, said to have weighed in at 225 pounds at his workouts in California, and hasn't had a fumble in 407 carries. "The defense's job is to get the ball away from you," Murray said. "My job was to make consistent progress, make plays and keep the ball for us. To win, you need the ball. I never want to surrender the ball. That's just been my approach along the way. Hopefully it does help in how people view me as a running back," he said. He has a pro day March 20.

Jose Jose - DL - Golden Knights

UCF DT Jose Jose has decided to enter April's NFL Draft.

Jose was dismissed from the football team for disciplinary reasons and doesn't offer much more than a large body on the interior of the defensive line. Don't expect to hear his name called in April.

Blake Bortles - QB - Golden Knights

UCF sophomore QB Blake Bortles threw three touchdowns and 272 yards on 22-of-33 attempts against Ball State.

He also rushed for 80 yards on nine carries, including a score. Bortles is one sophomore currently flying under the radar but he could jump onto the scene after a few solid weeks to start the 2013 season. he certainly has the size and arm NFL teams look for in a draftable prospect.

Storm Johnson - RB - Golden Knights

UCF will face Ball State in the Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl on December 21.

Two Golden Knights to check out are senior defensive end Troy Davis and guard Theo Gains. For Ball State, cornerback Jason Pinkston is another worth marking down. After that, this game is limited on NFL talent.

Storm Johnson - RB - Golden Knights

With starting senior RB Latavius Murray considered week-to-week with a shoulder injury, UCF may turn to sophomore Storm Johnson to start against Ohio State.

Johnson, a former Miami Hurricane, did fairly well when given the chance in the team's opener, taking 12 carries for 34 yards and two touchdowns. Despite many fans claiming Johnson should start over Murray prior to the season, the latter did outperform the sophomore in the school's opener. The Buckeyes would be a nice test for the young running back.

Latavius Murray - RB - Golden Knights

UCF senior RB Latavius Murray rushed for 108 yards, averaging 7.7 per carry, and added one touchdown.

Murray's longest run went for 43 yards. Miami transfer Storm Johnson drew most of the offseason buzz, but if this game is any indication, Murray is the one to watch in the Golden Knights' backfield. The senior is a much larger back, but showed some quality burst against Akron.

Storm Johnson - RB - Golden Knights

UCF sophomore RB, and former Miami Hurricane, Storm Johnson is prepared to take the field after sitting out the 2011 season due to transfer regulations.

Johnson averaged 13.2 yards per attempt on nine carries as a freshman, but his reported association with an on-campus marijuana incident, along with his poor relationship with Al Golden led the running back to seek a transfer. He landed at UCF because of a strong relationship with head coach George O'Leary, and Johnson spent last season working with the scout team. If his talent is as advertised, Johnson could become the focal point of the Golden Knights offense.

J.J. Worton - WR - Golden Knights

Central Florida receiver J.J. Worton was arrested Sunday and is facing multiple felony charges after resisting arrest.

Too soon to tell what this means for Worton's career, but it’s safe to say he put himself in a terrible spot at a time when everything was looking up for him on the grid. He was named to the Conference USA all-freshman team last season after catching 41 passes for 531 and 4 touchdowns. Worton was expected to be a starter for George O’Leary’s Knights in 2012.

Jeff Godfrey - QB - Golden Knights

Former UCF quarterback Jeff Godfrey is reportedly close to transferring to FAU.

Godfrey started every game for George O'Leary's Golden Knights the last two seasons, but was unhappy about being pulled in key late-season games last year. Blake Bortles got most of the reps the last three games. In two seasons, Godfrey completed a UCF record 67.7 percent of his passes for 4,057 yards and 18 touchdowns. He also ran for 971 yards and 18 TDs. Godfrey is expected to make his decision by mid-March. If he does transfer to FAU -- or another FBS program -- he will have to sit out one season.

Jeff Godfrey - QB - Golden Knights

UCF quarterback Jeff Godfrey announced he is leaving the team and will transfer, according to his father.

"It was the right time to go when he started to have lack of playing time," Jeff Godfrey Sr. said. The sophomore signal caller started every game for the Golden Knights, but Blake Bortles took over the majority of the snaps during the team's last three games. Godfrey threw for 1,898 yards with five touchdowns and five interceptions during the season, numbers which were down from his freshman campaign. If he transfers to another FBS program, he will have to sit out next seasom. The school has granted the sophomore his release with the stipulation that he cannot transfer to any Conference USA or Big East program.

Latavius Murray - RB - Golden Knights

UCF’s Latavius Murray ran for 233 yards, 2 touchdowns and added third TD in a 31-14 win over visiting UTEP.

Injuries opened the door for Murray to see extended playing time (21-87-1) last week against East Carolina and he followed up with a big-time effort Friday. Murray had 21 carries for an average of 11.1 per tote and 2-24-1 receiving for a 257-yard day.

Jamar Newsome - WR - Golden Knights

UCF quarterback Jeffrey Godfrey seems to have established his favorite target in wide receiver Jamar Newsome as he hauled in both of the team's passing touchdowns to go along with 118 yards receiving.

Newsome is a solid option in C-USA leagues and in deeper leagues.

Ronnie Weaver - RB - Golden Knights

Central Florida rode a punishing ground attack to beat the high-flying passing attack of East Carolina.  The charge was led by the 30 carries for 180 yards and two scores of Ronnie Weaver, while Latavious Murray acted as touchdown vulture with three touchdowns on just seven carries.

Weaver is turning into a solid starter as George O'Leary keeps feeding him the ball.

Ronnie Weaver - RB - Golden Knights

Central Florida running back Ronnie Weaver only carried the ball 15 times for 53 yards but made three trips to the endzone as the Knights rolled Rice.

Weaver is the next workhorse for George O'Leary and should be a nice bye week filler.
