UCF on Prowl to Land Projected $180,000 Touted ACC Quarterback

The UCF Knights may soon be adding another quarterback to the team's ongoing competition at the position. With Dylan Rizk entering the transfer portal, UCF is looking to land another quarterback.

Since Scott Frost was hired as the new UCF head coach, the Knights have made several quarterback moves. The headliner is adding former Indiana Hoosiers quarterback Tayven Jackson.

Former FAU Owls signal-caller Cameron Fancher also joined UCF after Frost returned to Orlando, Fla. Now, it looks as though UCF is at least attempting to add some more competition.

UCF hosted Virginia Tech Hokies quarterback Davi Belfort for an official visit on Tuesday. Belfort recently announced his desire to enter the transfer portal.

"I’m told Belfort was back in the state of Florida Tuesday, taking an official visit to UCF @RivalsPortal @UCFSports," Rivals.com's John Garcia, Jr. reported on X on Tuesday.

Belfort is the son of former UFC fighter Vitor Belfort. Both ESPN and Rivals had Belfort as a four-star prospect and top 10 dual-threat quarterback in the 2024 recruiting class.

As a high school recruit at Gulliver Prep (Fort Lauderdale, Fla.), Belfort had offers from the Alabama Crimson Tide, Florida Gators, Florida State Seminoles and Georgia Bulldogs among other top programs, per Rivals. On3 projects Belfort's current NIL value is $180,000.

"Beyond grateful for my time at Virgina Tech," Belfort wrote on X on Tuesday. "Thank you to all the coaches, players, and fans for welcoming my family and I with open arms forever grateful for Hokie Nation.

"I am so excited for the next chapter of my life. God is good Romans 8:28."

Belfort revealed in a recent interview that he expects to make a decision soon.
