He’s always been a student of the game and understands the why behind what we do.”

Milton will serve as Frost’s quarterback coach in his first on the field job. Milton is a hero at UCF as he was a two time American Athletic Conference offensive play of the year. He helped engineer perfect regular seasons at UCF in 2017 and 2018. Milton played at UCF from 2016-2020 which included three years under Heupel, where he thrived.

“Ten is not my number, but maybe we know somebody else who can use that,” Frost said. 

Milton wore 10 in his days as a Knight. 

“I’m beyond excited to be back in Orlando and part of the UCF family once again,” Milton said. “UCF holds such a special place in my heart, and to return as quarterbacks coach is truly an honor. I couldn’t be more excited to work alongside Coach Frost, who has been such a pivotal figure in my career.
