Linebacker David Curry praised Knight’s smarts and willingness to learn and play at a high level.
“And as dumb as that may sound, that’s what you need, and the kid wants to learn and he’s doing really well,” Curry said. “He’s making plays left and right. He may not know exactly where to go sometimes, but that’s what you expect from a freshman. But I think his attitude, his effort is phenomenal. He’s leading the whole defense sometimes in player load (a statistic created by the team’s wearable GPS technology that rates effort), which is unreal. I mean, the kid runs 22 miles an hour, so he’s unreal. I have a very high opinion of him.”
