UCF football NFL mock draft: Where experts predict RJ Harvey, other Knights will land

• UCF has had 50 players drafted into the NFL since the program’s inception.
• RJ Harvey, a top prospect from UCF, is projected to be drafted anywhere from the third to fifth round.
• Several other UCF players, including Mac McWilliams, BJ Adams, and Kobe Hudson, are also expected to be drafted.

UCF’s relatively exclusive fraternity of NFL draft picks is expected to grow this weekend.

There have been 50 Knights taken in the league’s annual selection meeting since the program’s inception; Ted Wilson was the first back in 1987, and Tylan Grable is the most recent just last year. A handful of Pro Bowl-caliber players can be found in between, including Daunte Culpepper, Brandon Marshall, Josh Sitton and Asante Samuel.

RJ Harvey, UCF’s all-time touchdown record-holder, is widely viewed as the top prospect on last season’s 4-8 squad. The Orlando native followed a huge sixth-year senior campaign (1,844 scrimmage yards, 25 TDs, All-Big 12 first-team selection) with impressive showings at the Reese’s Senior Bowl and the NFL scouting combine.
