UCF added defensive linemen Sincere Edwards , RJ Jackson and Horace Lockett through the transfer portal.

The Knights registered just 22 sacks in 2024 , tied for 78th in the Football Bowl Subdivision on a per-game basis ( 1.83 ) Coach Mike Dawson says the main goal for the Knights is to teach violence at the point of attack.

I want us to be known as a violent group, a group that gets to the ball and a group that's respected. "When guys want to run the ball, they better go to the perimeter. That's the expectation for us. We want to be physical up front, locking things out and being disruptive, even in the pass rush. I want to be able to penetrate, knock stuff back and affect the quarterback. A lot of people want to put defensive ends (inside). No sir. We're going to push that pocket inside, and we've got to prove that here.".
