Written by Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Syndicated User on January 7, 2026. Posted in College Sports, Florida Gators, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage, Fort Lauderdale Mortgage Rates, Latest Headlines, Sports.

GAINESVILLE — Coach Todd Golden’s suddenly unranked Gators were desperate for a win.

UCF is expected to hire former Oklahoma State coach Cooper Bassett as the Knights’ new tight ends coach.

Bassett, 35, takes over coaching the tight ends from Steve Cooper, who is the team’s offensive coordinator. The move most likely frees up Cooper to spend more time with the offense as a whole. The Oklahoma native joins AJ Blazek (offensive line) and Will Johnson (defensive back) as new coaches joining Scott Frost’s staff heading into Year 2. Bassett was a four-year letterwinner as a...
