Longtime assistant equipment manager Jim Knight reflects on career with Maryland Athletics

Experience is the best teacher, and good teachers lead to great experiences. That is the motto that longtime University of Maryland assistant equipment manager Jim Knight was told by an old friend, Ed Nietopski, who helped give him a start in the sports industry.

He spent nearly four decades in the business working with high schools, colleges and a two-year stint in the NFL with the Washington Commanders. But, he has enjoyed his nearly 20 years of work at Maryland the most.

If he were to produce a resume, the multitude of jobs he has would exceed a dozen pages.
