At Georgia Military College this season Knight made 16 tackles and intercepted four passes. Periodically the six foot tall, 170 lbs., defensive back also returned punts and kicks. 

A consensus three star recruit, Knight committed to Mississippi in June of 2013 before re-opening his recruitment in October. Knight's commitment comes on the heels of his official visit to Marshall last week. His previously scheduled visit to Kansas State this weekend has been canceled.

Knight will have three years of eligibility remaining once enrolled at Marshall.
