Tackett Curtis gives UCF a battle-tested linebacker with proven production
Curtis is a sturdy, experienced middle-of-the-defense fit for UCF: in the 2025 season at Wisconsin, he logged 25 tackles and 1 sack, and across his college career he has 92 tackles with flashes of impact from his USC/Wisconsin stops. He’s valued for his experience, transfer familiarity with defensive coordinator Alex Grinch, and ability to play significant snaps right away; UCF’s 2026 depth chart and preseason previews peg him as a rotation-to-starter level linebacker who should stabilize the room with physical, dependable play.
