Video Highlights: Kenny Knight, Country Day

Country Day’s Kenny Knight received his first official football offer today from Central Michigan.  Knight lines up both ways as a receiver and a safety.  Knight has already received an offer from CMU to play basketball.

He is currently ranked as NGS’s #2 receiver and #1 safety in the 2011 class.

Knight is receiving major interest from plenty of programs across the nation.  Now that his first offer is on the table I predict many more to come very soon.  Florida has already jumped into Knight’s recruitment and has made their way to Country Day to speak to him.  Offers from Michigan and Michigan State are expected to be put on the table in the upcoming weeks.

Knight is currently receiving interest from Cincinnati, Connecticut, Georgia Tech, Miami (FL), Notre Dame, Oregon, and Wisconsin among others.

Knight had a slow start to his football recruitment despite starting at safety for Country Day and making an appearance at Ford Field in the state finals as a sophomore.  He spent most of spring and summer playing AAU basketball instead of participating in football camps and combines, which might have hurt his football recruitment in the early going.

But once Knight released his highlight tape schools took notice.  Below are the highlights from Knight’s junior season.  See for yourself why Knight has quickly become a big time gridiron prospect.
