Artis is a Knight

The Knight train is rolling with no signs of stopping.

DeMarco Artis, UCF's No. 1 target on defense, committed on Tuesday afternoon during his second visit to campus in as many days. He announced his decision via Twitter around 8 p.m.

His offer list is quite impressive with suitors that included Ole Miss, Maryland, Michigan State, Louisville, North Carolina, NC State and Virginia Tech to name a few.

Artis, who will play linebacker in UCF's 3-4 scheme, earned an All-State third team honors selection as a junior with 35 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and eight sacks.

Artis is UCF's eighth Class of 2017 commit this month and 10th overall. It's safe to say UCF has something of a pipeline forming at Sanford's Seminole High School. The Knights signed defensive back Brandon Moore in the recent 2016 class while Artis' teammate and close friend, tight end Gabriel Davis, committed on Monday.
