The list of college football players opting out of the 2020 season continues to grow. Ten players from the University of Central Florida have decided to not play this fall due to coronavirus concerns. UCF coach Josh Heupel told reporters on Tuesday that quote "Everybody's perspective and situation with COVID is different,"

"It's the most unique thing that most of us have ever encountered in our lifetime. We've tried to educate our guys continuously as to what the best practices are, educate them on what we're doing here to keep them as safe as possible."

He went on to say that quote. “Each of these kids who chose to opt-out has different reasons behind their decisions. They're valid, they're real and we support those guys and we'll continue to help them."

The UCF Knights are scheduled to open their season against Georgia Tech in Atlanta on Sept. 19.
