UCF's sluggish recruiting for 2016 took a clear leap forward once Scott Frost was in as head coach. On Sunday it took another step forward with the commitments of Jawon Hamilton and Nate Evans.
Hamilton especially is a tremendous pick-up for the Knights. The 5-foot-9, 185 pound Hamilton is an exciting prospect, one whom I believe will be vastly better than his three star ranking suggests. This season, the South Dade High Prospect rushed for 1,259 yards on 131 carries (9.6 ypc!) and 16 touchdowns. Those stats come against strong competition, by the way. Also promising, Hamilton recently won the South Florida Player of the Year Award[1] (which went to a guy named Dalvin Cook in 2013, by the way).
