Nicholas Antoine brings rare size and patience to UCF’s deep DB room
Nicholas Antoine is a 6-foot-4, 205-pound redshirt senior DB for UCF who finally saw game action in 2025, appearing in five games after spending his first three seasons developing on the scout team. His biggest differentiator is length: that frame gives him matchup versatility and special-teams value, especially in a crowded secondary where snaps are hard to earn. He was also named to the 2025 Big 12 All-Academic Team, a good sign of discipline and buy-in. In short: a low-volume player right now, but a long, rangy developmental defensive back worth watching if you like upside and maturity.
