UCF received its third commitment to the 2016 recruiting class when quarterback Sawyer Smith of Cantonment Tate High, which is on the Alabama-Florida border in the Panhandle, pledged to the Knights on Tuesday night.
After landing a commitment from 4-star running back Robert Washington a little over a month ago, business has yet to pick up on the recruiting trail for Scott Shafer and his staff in the form of verbal commitments.
Initially, a pre-recorded video in which Washington said he had committed to Florida was released, but at his news conference Washington chose Syracuse.
