He brings a physical, downhill style of play and thrives attacking the football, fitting perfectly with Martinsburg’s defensive identity. With a full season of experience behind him, expect Knight to be one of the Bulldogs’ most productive defenders this fall.

proved to be a name to know this season and next. He’ll be stepping up at linebacker this season for the Bulldogs after waiting his turn the past two years. Martinsburg knows how to develop talented players at that position and had the 2024 Huff and Howley Award Winner there last season in Ace Flores, who has since graduated.
