Notre Dame Football Lands Deuce Knight, Top 2025 Dual-Threat Quarterback
In a major coup for the Notre Dame football program, 2025 dual-threat quarterback Deuce Knight has officially committed to the Fighting Irish. Knight, a highly touted recruit out of Mississippi, is regarded as one of the top quarterbacks in the country and a true game-changer for Notre Dame’s offense. His commitment marks a significant victory for head coach Marcus Freeman and the Notre Dame coaching staff as they continue to build a strong and competitive future.
The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Knight is known for his impressive ability to make plays both through the air and with his legs. With a rocket arm, the ability to read defenses, and an innate ability to make defenders miss, Knight is the epitome of a modern-day dual-threat quarterback. Over his high school career, Knight has amassed over 4,000 yards passing and 40 touchdowns while also showcasing his ability to scramble for significant yardage, making him one of the most dynamic quarterbacks in the 2025 class.
Knight’s recruitment had been closely watched by college football fans across the nation, with top programs like Alabama, Georgia, and Michigan vying for his services. However, the opportunity to play for Notre Dame’s historic program, along with its commitment to developing quarterbacks and competing for championships, ultimately swayed Knight’s decision.
“I’ve always respected Notre Dame for its tradition and the opportunity it gives players to grow on and off the field,” Knight said in a statement. “The coaching staff, the team, and the atmosphere in South Bend really resonated with me. I feel like I’m in the right place to take my game to the next level and help lead the team to success.”
Knight’s commitment is a major boost for Notre Dame, which has been steadily improving its recruiting efforts under Freeman’s leadership. With Knight at the helm, the Fighting Irish now have a future quarterback who possesses the versatility and leadership qualities needed to lead their offense. His ability to make plays in the pocket as well as on the run will give Notre Dame an added dimension on offense, and his elite athleticism will make him a nightmare for opposing defenses.
Head coach Marcus Freeman expressed his excitement about landing Knight, stating, “Deuce is an exceptional talent, and we are thrilled to have him join the Notre Dame family. His skill set fits perfectly with the style of offense we are building here, and we believe he will be a difference-maker for us. We can’t wait to see him develop and grow into a leader for this program.”
With Knight now locked in, Notre Dame’s 2025 recruiting class continues to gain momentum. The Fighting Irish are set to have one of the most talented quarterback prospects in the nation leading their offense in the coming years, and with Knight’s commitment, the program’s future looks incredibly bright.
As the 2025 season approaches, Notre Dame fans are already eagerly anticipating Knight’s arrival, and with his skill set, it’s clear that the Fighting Irish are in for an exciting ride in the
years to come.
