Dec 4, 2024, 03:19 PM

Auburn University has officially signed five-star quarterback Deuce Knight, a significant addition to their 2025 recruiting class. Knight, who hails from Lucedale, Mississippi, previously committed to Notre Dame in the fall of 2023 but flipped to Auburn in October. Despite interest from Ole Miss, Knight made his commitment to Auburn official by donning an Auburn hat and declaring 'War Eagle.' This recruitment marks a notable victory for Auburn, particularly at a crucial position, as Knight is regarded as the top offensive prospect in head coach Hugh Freeze's recruiting efforts. Knight is also noted for his left-handed throwing ability and has drawn comparisons to former NFL quarterback Vince Young.
