The UCF Knights have found big help at the defensive back position on the junior college front.

Tay Gowan, a cornerback out of Butler Community College, has committed to UCF, he announced Monday afternoon on his personal Twitter.

Gowan took an official visit to UCF this past weekend and told Knights247 he enjoyed the visit.

"UCF visit went great," Gowan told Knights247 in a message.

According to Gowan, the "coaches and the family environment" was what he liked most about UCF.

The addition of Gowan at the cornerback position is big because the Knights are losing key pieces in the secondary due to graduation including Kyle Gibson and Rashard Causey.

"I want to thank my Butler family for taking me in and caring for me," Gowan said in his announcement. "Sleeping in a jeep and being homeless made me a savage and I thank God for allowing me to overcome every obstacle that was placed in my life. With that being said I will be committing to the University of Central Florida."

At Butler Community College, Gowan recorded six interceptions, 22 solo tackles and returned a fumble for a touchdown. Gowan will be a big help for UCF.
