Knighton is one of those athletes just pops on film, and we wrote his name down after a promising sophomore season. Junior year there is continued progress, and the powerful 6’3″ athlete is more than capable of landing the big hit. Acceleration is outstanding, the 2021 recruit absolutely flies in the direction of the football, and given his 6’3″ frame, he can really stride out and cover ground. That length also gives him a nice radius to break up passes. Knighton is probably a SS at the next level, but could also be an OLB too. Definitely an FBS caliber player, not really sure why there is so much film of him punting though when the next play he is decleating the ball carrier. He had several interceptions on the year where he showed good ball skills making tough diving catches for the turnover.
