The Knight’s quarterback competition may have another possible QB in the mix.
The former Dr. Phillips and Boise State quarterback Nick Patti has officially transferred and enrolled at UCF, according to the Orlando Sentinel. Patti will not be a student until this summer, which could affect his eligibility status for 2014 unless he seeks a hardship waiver from the NCAA.
If Patti is granted the hardship waiver, he may be immediately tossed into the mix as one of the four potential starting quarterbacks for 2014 along with Tyler Harris, Pete DiNovo and Justin Holman. Patti could not find his niche within the Boise State offense, completing 8 of 11 passes for 63 yards and no touchdowns this past season.
UCF Head Coach offered Patti a scholarship his senior season at Dr. Phillips, but Patti had already committed to Boise State. It is unclear on whether Patti will receive a scholarship from UCF or if he will be a walk-on.
