UConn football lands JUCO transfer running back Will Knight

UConn’s future offense gained a boost on Monday afternoon, securing transfer running back Will Knight from Garden City Community College in Garden City, Kansas.

Knight stands 5-foot-11 and weighs 225 lbs, and will have two years of eligibility remaining at Storrs, according to Hearst Media.

Knight has produced eye-popping numbers at every stop in his long, winding career. He was the Delaware Gatorade Player of the Year in 2017 and is still the all-time leading rusher in the state with 6,490 yards rushing and 97 touchdowns.

After redshirting at Old Dominion in 2017, Knight went to Delaware and led the team with 919 yards rushing before the team did not participate in the 2020 season.
