UCF first-year offensive line coach AJ Blazek is evaluating the group through a “best five” approach, with Connor Meadows moving to center as the Knights’ front begins to take shape. Blazek also addressed UCF’s depth up front and the personalities emerging in his position room. The discussion offers an early view of how the new coach is organizing the unit, but it does not name a starting five or establish the rest of the alignment. Meadows’ move is the only specific personnel change identified, while depth and room dynamics remain broader subjects for continued evaluation.
