At Disney World, a self-proclaimed player for the UCF Knights tried to pull a fast one at Disney World, hoping to slide through the lines like he was dodging defenders on the football field.
Spoiler Alert: It didn’t go as smoothly as a quarterback sneak.
The controversy came to light when a TikTok video went viral, seemingly capturing a group of young adults, including the fake player, waiting in line for the Soarin’ ride at Epcot.

When the UCF football program caught wind of this ruckus, they were quicker to disavow the imposter than a cornerback defending a deep pass.
In a statement that probably left the fake Knight questioning his life choices, UCF officials declared:
“The individual in the video on TikTok is not a member of our football team and never has been.
Ouch.

It’s a small world, but the internet makes it even smaller.

“Screams of wannabe “alpha male”, with the only thing he’s capable of leading is a posse of trashy shitheads whose only notable moments in life so far are causing scenes at a disney park. hope they grow up into productive people and look back on this kind of behavior with burning shame.”
“I don’t think people like this know shame. They feel to entitled.”
“What makes it even more hysterical is he did not just lie about playing for UCF, bro literally envisioned his entire life with it. I’ve made more money than you in NIL deals. You watch me on Saturdays and you and your family tailgate outside my stadium. It just cannot get any more pathetic.”
“That’s an insane level of delusion. Bro could’ve made up any life story and the best he came up with is a D1 athlete. So sad.”
“I was just cracking up at playing football at UCF being used as some big flex in the first place.”
“How can you say this kinda stuff in front of other people who obviously know it’s not true? His friends clearly know he doesn’t play football and UCF….and how is that a flex?”
The UCF Knights football team, representing the University of Central Florida (UCF), is a prominent force in American college football.
Competing in the Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) of the NCAA, the Knights hold a distinctive position as the youngest member of the Power Five conferences, specifically being part of the Big 12 Conference.
UFC Knights are led by head coach Gus Malzahn.
