**PLAYER:** DJ McCormick Jr.

**POSITION:** Linebacker

**YEAR:** Redshirt freshman

**HEIGHT/WEIGHT:** 6'1", 214 lbs.

**HOW DID HE GET HERE?** We welcome any players who transfer across I-4 with open arms. McCormick was a mid three-star prospect out of Rockledge High School and had a solid offer list including power conference programs like Indiana, West Virginia, and Pitt, but he opted to stay relatively local and signed with UCF.

After a quiet true freshman season, he entered the transfer portal in spring 2025 and moved further west, committing to USF in April.

**HOW WAS HIS 2024 SEASON?** McCormick didn’t see any playing time and took a redshirt season. Presumably he took lots of notes on how to take UCF down from the inside - good idea!

**WHAT SHOULD WE EXPECT IN 2025?** McCormick is still young and has done a great job bulking up from his high school playing days. I don’t expect a ton of immediate snaps for him in 2025 in a stacked linebacker room, but I really like him as an addition to this unit. Getting a promising prospect in the door who still has four years of eligibility is a big plus in my book.
