You've heard of Arkansas State QB Fredi Knighten's high school coach

P-D: Back in high school, how did your recruiting process go?

KNIGHTEN: It really didn’t go. (Laughter) I basically had one offer, from here, from Gus Malzahn. He and my high school coach were really good friends. A lot of people said I was too small, so there wasn’t a lot of interest.

I'm a big fan of Knighten. He had a miserable game against USC, but he was good most of last year, and he's a unique, dual-threat guy. And his former high school coach is a guy you've probably heard of: Kevin Kelley, the "never punts" guy.
