“McKnight is an athletic back who seriously hurts defenses with his speed/physicality. He’s quick on his feet, has great burst, and terrific vision he uses to rack up huge gains on the ground.

On top of that, he has the physicality to withstand contact and keep moving upfield. It’s really impressive to see. He runs hard, can dish out some mean stiff arms, and makes it impossible for defenders to take him down.“

McKnight made the most out of a heavy workload, racking up 36 carries for 312 yards and 4 TDs on the ground.

Check out some of McKnight’s tape from last night; he was unstoppable against one of the more talented defenses in the state.
