redshirt freshman center/guard who could be a sneaky depth boost for UCF
In the 2025 season, Jacob Maiava played in four games and logged eight snaps for UCF, preserving his redshirt while showing early versatility across the interior line. The 6-foot-2, 280-pound lineman has been described as a true center who can also play guard, and recent UCF coverage says he was competing for the starting center job in 2026 while already drawing notice for his physical style and depth value. He’s the kind of player who may not headline the box score, but can quietly matter a lot if your team wants tough, movable interior line help.
