ORLANDO – The UCF men’s golf team announced the signing of prominent JUCO transfer Ilan Dufrenoy to the 2026 roster.

Dufrenoy comes to UCF as a junior student from Garden City Community College, where he compiled a strong resume for the Broncbusters.

We are excited to add Ilan Dufrenoy to our program in the fall of 2026. We feel that Ilan will add a sense of maturity and college playing experience to a revamped roster for next season.
