UCF defensive tackle Jeffson Lafontant climbed the depth chart during spring and fall camp; Scott Frost said his combination of size, speed and quickness made him difficult to block and expects him to receive substantial snaps within a rotation, not an exclusive starting workload.

Lafontant's larger projected 2026 role follows a limited 2025 production base of 11 tackles, two tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks across 10 appearances, including UCF's final five games; the opportunity is to turn late-season flashes into consistent interior disruption, not evidence that he has already done so this season.
