QB John Rhys Plumlee will attend UCF.
The quarterback for the UCF Knights is now a portal player. The Knights needed a quarterback when Dillon Gabriel left for the UCLA Bruins Oklahoma Sooners.

The Knights needed a quarterback after Dillon Gabriel left for the UCLA Bruins Oklahoma Sooners, so they signed former Ole Miss Rebel John Rhys Plumlee.

In 2019, Plumlee enrolled at Ole Miss as a quarterback, but teammate Matt Corral eventually took over as the starting quarterback. Plumlee was thereafter used more as a running back and receiver by the team.
Plumlee ran the ball ten times for 73 yards and caught eighteen passes for 200 yards.
Plumlee joins a quarterback room that already includes Parker Navarro, Mikey Keene, and soon-to-be freshman Thomas Castellanos. By 2022, all four ought to have a chance to see playing time. But like Joey Gatewood’s position in the offence last season, Plumlee’s versatility gives him more chances to see the field. His speed is a great asset when it comes to running.
