Knight, from George County High School in Lucedale, Miss., is rated the second-best dual-threat quarterback in the Class of 2025 by ESPN. The 247Sports Composite ranking lists him as the fifth-best quarterback and the 29th-best prospect overall.
On3.com reported that Knight attended four Auburn home games this season prior to spurning the Fighting Irish for the Tigers. Knight also considered Ole Miss and Alabama, according to The Athletic.
Knight, who is 6-foot-4, 206 pounds, adds to an Auburn recruiting class that was now rated No. 4 in the country prior to his arrival, No. 5 per On3 Industry.
During his junior year, Knight transferred to Lipscomb Academy in Nashville before returning to George County to finish the season. He wound up throwing for 2,047 yards and 17 touchdowns with just two interceptions for George County last season, in addition to 494 yards and 11 touchdowns on the ground.
Auburn brings a 2-3 record in a Saturday road game against No. 2 Georgia. Notre Dame (4-1) has a week off after logging a third consecutive victory last Saturday.
