Name: Nolan Knight
Height: 6'3"
Weight: 215 lbs.
High school: Northville (MI) Northville
Position: Linebacker
Class: Redshirt junior
Jersey number: #32
Last year: I ranked Knight #104 and said he would be a backup linebacker (LINK). He played in one game.
TTB Rating: N/A
As we inch closer to exhausting the list of walk-ons in the countdown, Knight is someone who appears fairly high on the list. Having watched him a little bit from when he was in high school, I think Knight could be one of those players who steps into some playing time late in his career, at least on special teams. He has good length and decent athleticism, and he's going into his fourth year on the roster. Defensive playing time is going to be hard to come by because of what's needed from the inside linebacker position and the depth, but Knight is a guy who could find a role on some special teams, such as the kickoff or kickoff return unit.
Prediction: Backup linebacker, special teamer
