Coach Rich Wallace bolsters the Knights' bullpen by reunited teammates Andrew Lepine and Jake Gorelick, signaling a strategic roster overhaul as the summer transfer window heats up.
The UCF Knights have strengthened their pitching depth once more, landing right-handed pitcher Jake Gorelick from Stetson, marking the Knights' second transfer from the Hatters.
Gorelick joins his teammate, Andrew Lepine, as part of UCF's pitching crew. The Miami, Florida native had an underwhelming season compared to his 2025 outing, when he recorded a career-high 23 strikeouts in 16 appearances.
The transfer portal will remain open until June 30, and the transfer portal tracker will monitor every player departure or addition. Each updated entry is in chronological order from newest to oldest, and outgoing transfers who commit to another program will appear at the top of the list with their updated information.
