The dominoes are starting to fall in the Bulls 2023 recruiting class as the coaching staff lands DT Connor Knight, becoming the third addition to the group thus far. Covering the Trussville, Alabama product and what this commitment means for the Bulls defense, let’s get after it!
DT Connor Knight (Hewitt-Trussville)
Committed to the Bulls on August 2nd, Knight becomes the second defensive commitment to the 2023 recruiting class, joining S Tawfiq Byard as the third member of the class thus far. To date, Connor currently has offers from Arkansas, Florida State, Kentucky, Maryland, and Miami to name a few.
Mike’s Take
Can’t emphasize the importance of building depth in the trenches and as important as it is to have depth across the board, this was a must-have addition to the 2023 recruiting class being that the size of the class won’t wow individuals that follow recruiting. Knight has the strength and size to be a factor on the DL right away and carries the traits that you look for in a Division-1 defensive tackle once he’s on campus. Welcome to the Bulls Connor!
