Notre Dame QB commit Deuce Knight gets invite to prestigious camp

The Irish have a great quarterback in their 2025 class

For any high school quarterback, an invitation to the Elite 11 camp shows that you are one of the best in the country.

You can add Notre Dame football commit [autotag]Deuce Knight[/autotag] to that list, as on Sunday it was announced that the 6-foot, 5-inch and 195-pound lefty from Mississippi will be attending the camp.

Numerous alumni have gone on to have success at the next level and beyond, so it’s a very good sign that the Irish commit will be competing with the best in the country. Knight’s recruiting ranking backs up the invitation, as he’s ranked as the No. 6 quarterback and 67th overall prospect nationally according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

The competition will be intense, and we fully expect Knight to put on a show during the camp.

Notre Dame gets great news as they fend off programs for QB commit Deuce Knight

It’s looking good for the Irish to hold onto Knight

As we have seen over the last few months, Notre Dame football quarterback commit [autotag]Deuce Knight[/autotag] is still being pursued by multiple schools.

Recently, Knight received an offer from Colorado, as they are making an effort to flip the 6-foot, 5-inch and 195-pound lefty. They aren’t the only school trying, but it looks like it might be a lost cause for those teams.

In a report from 247Sports Anna Adams (subscription required), she that “Knight isn’t wavering despite some push from Alabama, Ole Miss, Colorado and South Carolina.” This clearly is very good news for the Irish, as the quarterback is ranked as the No. 62 overall prospect and 5th ranked player at his position according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

At the moment, the Irish have 16 total commitments for the 2025 recruiting cycle and Knight is one of the highest rated verbals.

Meet Notre Dame’s Top Ranked 2025 Recruiting Class

What must the Irish still add to make this class great?

It’s early in the 2025 recruiting cycle still but recruiting for Notre Dame tends to play out a lot like a quote from New York Yankees legend Yogi Berra:

“It’s getting late early out there.”

When it comes to football recruiting Notre Dame is a team that tends to start hot and then usually have to hold on to secure a high ranking.  They’re rarely if ever a program that soars up the rankings late in the process.

That’s why it’s so important that Notre Dame gets off to hot starts in recruiting and that is something they’ve certainly done to date with the 2025 recruiting class.

Notre Dame now has 16 commitments in the class which gives them the top ranking according to both 247Sports and Rivals.

Below are the currently committed 16 members of Notre Dame’s 2025 recruiting class and a little about each player.

Please note: Prospects are listed according to their public commitment dates

Add Coach Prime and Colorado to Those Trying to Poach Notre Dame Quarterback

Hands off, Buffs!

The biggest name to date in Notre Dame’s star-studded 2025 recruiting class is quarterback [autotag]Deuce Knight[/autotag].  Knight committed to the Irish back in September and has been a vocal leader in helping recruit more talent to Notre Dame’s 2025 class.

Despite this, other programs are trying to swoop in and get Knight to flip his commitment.  The latest to do so is none other than the Colorado Buffaloes and head coach Deion Sanders.

Colorado doesn’t yet have a quarterback commitment in the class.  They were in on top quarterback prospect Bryce Underwood, but he ultimately committed to LSU.

This past Friday, Knight announced on social media that Colorado had extended him an offer:

Knight is rated as a four-star prospect by the 247Sports composite.  The same outlet ranks him as the 62nd overall player in the class and fifth overall quarterback.

SEC powerhouse offers Notre Dame quarterback commit

One of the nation’s top-ranked quarterbacks in the 2025 recruiting class picked up a big time offer despite being committed to Notre Dame.

In a story we’ve seen before, Alabama has offered a top-ranked Notre Dame commitment in an upcoming class.

This time it was quarterback Deuce Knight, the top-ranked dual-threat quarterback in the 2025 recruiting cycle. Alabama offered him on Monday.  Knight committed to Notre Dame in September 2023.

Knight checks in at 6 feet, 4 inches and 195 pounds. He has received offers from Auburn, Georgia, Oregon, Tennessee, Washington and plenty of others.

Knight hails from Lucedale, Mississippi, and has was on campus for junior weekend at Notre Dame this past weekend.  He has been a leader in the recruitment of other top targets in the 2025 class, but as we know all too well, an offer from Alabama tends to carry a lot of weight regardless of a commitment status.

Nick Saban not being head coach there anymore obviously takes away some of the bigness but certainly not all of it.

Notre Dame 2025 quarterback commit gets re-offered by new Alabama staff

The Crimson Tide are trying to flip the Irish commit

Now that Alabama head coach Nick Saban has ridden into the sunset of retirement, it may have seemed like Notre Dame would make more waves recruiting the southern states.

However, it didn’t take long for the new Crimson Tide coaching staff to make a decision on Irish 2025 quarterback commit [autotag]Deuce Knight[/autotag], as they re-offered the lefty on Monday afternoon. As one of the stars of Notre Dame’s current class, and a big time recruiter, there is no doubt that the Irish coaching staff will have to continue to do a great job staying on him.

Knight was just in South Bend over the weekend for the big junior day, which hopefully reaffirmed his decision to ultimately sign the Irish.

Knight is a big time prospect, ranking as the No. 5 quarterback and 55th overall recruit according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings.

Watch: Notre Dame 2025 quarterback commit shows off athleticism on hardwood

Deuce got loose!!!

Notre Dame football not only got a great 2025 quarterback in [autotag]Deuce Knight[/autotag], they got an exceptional athlete as well.

Like many high school athletes, Knight just doesn’t shine on Friday nights, he does it on the basketball court as well. The 6-foot, 4-inch and 195-pound lefty from Mississippi has reported over a 40-inch vertical and used that to throw down two impressive dunks in a recent game for his George County high school team.

We know that the No. 4 quarterback and 54th overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings won’t play hoops at the next level, but after watching this, maybe we can’t rule that out.

The hype is building for the future Irish quarterback, and we can’t wait until we finally get to see him suit up in the Blue and Gold.
