2024 Pass/Rush Stats
2024 Pass/Rush Projections
Will pursue NFL career
Plumlee announced Saturday via social media that he will enter the 2024 NFL Draft.
ANALYSIS
Plumlee didn't have any eligibility remaining after not qualifying for a redshirt during his first four yeas of college before using a fifth year of eligibility in 2023, which he was awarded due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the 2020 season. As such, Plumlee's decision to pursue a professional career comes as little surprise. After joining the UCF program in January 2022 following his transfer from Ole Miss, Plumlee made 23 starts at quarterback over his two seasons with the Knights. As a fifth-year senior this past fall, Plumlee completed 161 of 256 pass attempts (62.9 percent) for 2,271 yards (8.9 YPA), 15 touchdowns and eight interceptions while carrying 106 times for 505 yards and five scores. UCF is expected to look to the transfer portal to find a replacement at quarterback for Plumlee heading into 2024.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Plumlee's career arc from quarterback to wide receiver at Ole Miss and back to quarterback with UCF is one of the more interesting ones to follow, but he settled in under center as a dual-threat weapon for the Golden Knights last season, compiling 2,586 passing yards and a 14:8 TD:INT ratio while completing 63.0 percent of his passes and running for another 862 yards and 11 touchdowns on 159 carries in his 13 games under center. Plumlee has the ability to top 100 rushing yards on any given week and finished over or near 300 passing yards five times. Unfortunately, he did lose top pass catcher Ryan O'Keefe to Boston College, but Javon Baker, and Kobe Hudson return and the team added Marshall transfer Corey Gammage to bolster the wide receiver unit, leaving UCF with a strong passing unit again to go along with Plumlee's ground contributions.
