📈 STOCK UP

🔼 Celebrating. Tuesday was #BlackCoachesDay. On that day, we celebrated our women’s basketball head coach Sytia Messer. Messer is in her second season with the Knights. She led the team to its second-best start, 6-0, in her first season with UCF.

🔼 Supporting. The men’s basketball coaches and staff wore #Green4Literacy pins at last week’s game to show their support for championing literacy in Orlando.

Get ready to experience the best chicken tenders in America with the Official Chicken Tenders of the UCF Knights! Huey Magoo’s is known as The Filet Mignon of Chicken® because they only use the best 3% of the chicken, it’s the tenderloin and all they serve. Whether you enjoy your chicken tenders as part of a meal, in a salad, sandwich, or wrap, Huey Magoo’s has something for every chicken tender fan. Planning a sports-watching party or get-together? With mouthwatering hand-breaded, grilled, and sauced catering options, Huey Magoo’s is sure to make you the MVP of any party.
