Johnny Keyser, the American Idol contestant who boasted he was a UCF student during last night’s show in St. Louis, is making headlines today. 
Keyser’s interaction with Idol judge Jennifer Lopez was one of the top stories on Yahoo News all morning long Friday.
Keyser, who is from Pompano Beach and works as a server at Carrabba’s Italian restaurant, has been enjoying support from the UCF community. He’s performed on YouTube before, as you can see in the Gavin DeGraw cover he posted, below, but Idol looks to be his biggest break yet.

When KnightNews.com posted news of a UCF student on Idol last night, more than 100 students liked it on Facebook.
KnightNews.com will continue updating Knights on Keyser’s progress. We’re also working to find people who knew him at UCF. If you had class with him, were his roommate, or neighbor — or can help us find people like that — email us at news@knightnews.com.
