🚀 ONE BIG THING 

Staying Home. Former UCF pitcher Sarah Willis will remain with the team as a graduate assistant ahead of the spring 2025 season. Willis was the AAC Pitcher of the Year and All-Big 12 First Team selection while playing for the Knights. She competed with Athletes Unlimited this past summer.

🥎 Here’s more about Willis.

3MG Roofing and Solar, in collaboration with The Kingdom, has launched an incredible initiative to support student-athletes at the University of Central Florida (UCF). For every field goal made during UCF football games, 3MG will donate $1000 to aid these hardworking individuals in their pursuit of academic and athletic excellence. This promotion, aptly named "3MG Threes for student-athletes," not only serves as a way to give back to the community but also highlights the importance of supporting young athletes who are balancing rigorous academics with demanding sports schedules.

The partnership between 3MG and The Kingdom showcases the power of businesses coming together to make a positive impact on society. This initiative not only benefits the student-athletes at UCF but also sets an example for other companies to use their platform and resources to support and uplift the next generation of leaders. With 3MG and The Kingdom's continued efforts, we can look forward to a brighter future for student-athletes in our community.
