BREAKING NEWS:

Knight is a 6’1, 170 lbs ATH With 20+ offers including schools like the University of Miami, Florida State, and Penn State, he has gained a lot of eyes on him.

Knight had this to say about his transfer “My family and I felt as though this was the best decision for me. Coach Jack is definitely somebody we trust and believe in.”

“I’m truly thankful for my time at Benjamin. Coach K has been nothing but supportive of me and my family through my time there.” Knight said “I’m thankful for all of my teammates, I wish them nothing but the best, and I’m looking forward to playing them this season”

Newman went 11-1 last year, losing to Chaminade-Madonna in the playoffs. Losing big seniors last year like Chris Presto, Cole Dillon and Vinkevus Pierre, Newman needed big new players. With the addition of Knight, and already with a big roster of 3 and 4 stars, maybe they will be able to conquer the Lions this year.

With an exciting off-season for Knight, taking official visits to Illinois and Florida State, he has a lot more to look forward to this season. He also gets to play alongside of his cousin, another big recruit, Kevin Levy.
