ORLANDO (UCFKnights.com) – With the start of the college football season on the horizon, UCF head coach Scott Frost and members of the Knights football team are set to represent the Black and Gold at the 2017 American Athletic Conference Summer Kickoff and Media Days presented by NAPA Auto Parts.

Frost, along with Shaquem Griffin, Jordan Akins, Jamiyus Pittman and Aaron Evanswill make the trip north to Newport, R.I. on Monday. The annual New England-style clambake will take place Monday evening with live coverage on the American Digital Network.

Tuesday’s portion of Media Days will get started early with the reveal of the preseason poll at 8:30 a.m. Legendary sports broadcaster Verne Lundquist will serve as host of Tuesday’s podium sessions, which will include comments from Commissioner Mike Aresco and roundtable discussions with the league’s coaches.

The American Digital Network will once again have live coverage of Tuesday morning’s events, featuring interviews with both Frost and Griffin. Both Monday and Tuesday’s live shows will be available via The American’s Facebook and YouTubepages.

Knights fans can keep up with all the action by following UCF Football on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
