Vols’ 2025 quarterback target commits to Notre Dame

Vols’ 2025 quarterback target commits to Notre Dame.

2025 four-star quarterback Deuce Knight announced his commitment to Notre Dame on Monday.

He committed to the Fighting Irish over Tennessee, Auburn and Ole Miss.

The 6-foot-4.5, 180-pound quarterback is from George County High School in Lucedale, Mississippi.

Knight is the No. 39 overall prospect and No. 3 quarterback in the class of 2025. He ranks as the No. 1 quarterback and No. 2 player in Mississippi, according to On3 Sports industry rankings.

Knight earned first-team All-Region honors as a sophomore in 2022, recording 1,929 passing yards, 11 passing touchdowns, 488 rushing yards and 12 rushing touchdowns.

Tennessee is also recruiting 2025 four-star quarterback George MacIntyre from Brentwood Academy in Brentwood, Tennessee.

Notre Dame lands major quarterback commitment for 2025 class!

Deuce is loose!

If it wasn’t a big enough week already for Notre Dame football, it just got that much bigger for the future.  That’s because Notre Dame landed a commitment from 2025 quarterback Deuce Knight.

Knight, a four-star prospect according to the 247Sports composite ratings, chose Notre Dame over a few SEC powerhouses such as Alabama, Tennessee, and Ole Miss.

Knight checks in at 6-4.5″ and weighs 195-pounds.  He’s from George County High School in Mississippi but had transferred to powerhouse Lipscomb Academy in Nashville earlier this year.  After three games he was home sick and chose to head back to Mississippi where he’ll soon resume his junior season.

We’ll have plenty of reaction to Knight’s decision as Notre Dame now has one of the biggest pieces of their 2025 recruiting puzzle in place.

Check out Knight’s commitment video below and be sure to follow along here at Fighting Irish Wire as we’ll have more on his commitment as well as the showdown with Ohio State on Saturday night.

Report: Notre Dame impressed 2025 quarterback recruit while on campus

The Irish showed him a great time

Now that the dead period is over, [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] and other schools across the country are beginning to host prospects again.

For the Irish, it was a chance to show 2025 Mississippi quarterback [autotag]Deuce Knight[/autotag] what their program is all about. The 6-foot, 4-inch and 190 pound signal caller seemed extremely excited to visit South Bend. The staff knew this a rolled the red carpet out for him.

According to a report by 247Sports Tom Loy, Knight was made to “feel like the President.” His family was along for the trip, which tells me that the Irish are extremely high on his list of schools he’s considering.

The next step will be making a decision, but not before seeing a couple games this fall, Loy reports. Hopefully, a return to South Bend during the fall is on tap. Knight is ranked as the 5th quarterback and 78th overall prospect according to the 247Sports composite.

Notre Dame is trending to eventually add 2025 quarterback

Could the Irish be adding another big time quarterback in the near future?

During this past weekend we chronicled that 2025 Tennessee quarterback [autotag]Deuce Knight [/autotag] visited Notre Dame and subsequently had a great time doing so.

It was such a good visit that 247Sports Tom Loy decided that he had heard enough positive chatter that he put in a crystal ball pick for the Irish to add the 6-foot, 5-inch and 195 pound quarterback. Knight is one of the top players in the country, ranking as the 5th at his position and 78th overall player nationally according to the 247Sports composite.

Knight also holds offers from Alabama, Georgia, Miami and others so a commitment would be a big one for the Irish. Getting high level quarterbacks in back-to-back class isn’t something the Irish are accustomed to, but this could be the start of a big run if Loy is correct.

Notre Dame football: One of nation’s top quarterbacks visits Irish

Sure seems like Notre Dame is in a good place here but a long way to go…

We may be just two days into fall camp for the 2023 season but that doesn’t mean the temperature for recruiting the 2025 class isn’t heating up at Notre Dame.  That’s why it wasn’t just the current stars of the Fighting Irish turning heads on campus Thursday – but potentially a future one as well.

Deuce Knight, a four-star recruit and top-10 quarterback in the 2025 recruiting cycle made another trip to South Bend on Thursday.  He had previously been on campus this past spring and it would appear that this visit went good as well.

Here are some of the photos and best tweets recapping Knight’s visit.

Report: Top Notre Dame 2025 quarterback target to visit this month

The Irish will host one of the nations best later this month

Although recruiting may seem a bit bleak for [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] following the news of Justin Scott, but the show must go on.

Irish boss [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] has to this loss in stride and continue to recruit high level prospects to South Bend. One of those is Mississippi 2025 quarterback [autotag]Deuce Knight[/autotag], who, according to a report by 247Sports Tom Loy, plans to make a visit on the 27th of this month.

Knight is one of the best prospects in his class, ranking as the 5th quarterback and 86th overall prospect in the country according to the 247Sports composite. The Irish offered a scholarship to the 6-foot, 4-inch and 190-pound player in mid-March.

Dual-threat QB Deuce Knight names top schools

4-star 2025 quarterback recruit Deuce Knight is narrowing down contenders in his recruitment

The Georgia Bulldogs are among the top schools for elite quarterback recruit Deuce Knight. Knight is a four-star recruit in the rising junior class.

Knight plays for George County High School in Lucedale, Mississippi. Knight is ranked as the No. 133 player in the class of 2025. He is the No. 7 quarterback in the 2025 cycle and the sixth-ranked player in Mississippi, per 247Sports.

The 6-foot-4, 185-pound quarterback will continue to add to his frame. Knight is a great student. The George County standout has taken a recent visit to Ole Miss.

Kirby Smart and Georgia are off to an excellent start with the class of 2025. The Dawgs already have commitments from multiple five-star recruits in the 2025 cycle.

Will Georgia need to sign a quarterback in the class of 2025? If the Bulldogs can keep Dylan Raiola’s commitment, the Dawgs may be set at the position for the 2025 cycle. However, the transfer portal could play a role in determining if Georgia needs to sign a 2025 quarterback.

Knight is an excellent track and field athlete. He won a state championship in the long jump and came in second in the high jump.

Knight’s top 10 schools are Tennessee, Georgia, Ole Miss, Notre Dame, South Carolina, TCU, Washington, Oregon, Auburn and Texas A&M.

Deuce Knight announced his top 10 schools via On3’s Hayes Fawcett on social media:

Report: Notre Dame to host 2025 Mississippi quarterback

The Irish will host one of the top 2025 signal callers later this month

You can never have enough good quarterback prospects on your roster and [autotag]Notre Dame[/autotag] is finally starting to join in that trend.

In previous years, the Irish had only one legit option before the position got dicey, just look back at last year. Although that might be the case once again this coming season after Tyler Buchner transferred out, head coach [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag] doesn’t want that situation going forward even with Sam Hartman’s greatness.

Although Kenny Minchey is just a true freshman, he’s got a lot of talent. The 2024 class has CJ Carr, one of the best in the country. For the 2025 class, there is no current commit but there are plenty of high level options like Mississippi’s [autotag]Deuce Knight[/autotag].

The 6-foot, 4-inch and 190 pound lefty signal caller really likes what Freeman and quarterback coach [autotag]Gino Guidugli[/autotag] are selling. In a report by 247Sports Steve Wiltfong, Knight told him that both “are good people, they are doing some good things up there with the program and offense and I just want to get up there around those people again because I had a great time last time I was up there.”

Knight was referring to returning to South Bend, with according to the report will be on June 10th. The Mississippi quarterback released his top 10, the Irish being included. Expect Notre Dame to continue the full court press on Knight during his visit and beyond.

No. 4 2025 QB, Deuce Knight places the Ducks in his top ten schools

No. 4 2025 QB, Deuce Knight places the Ducks in his top ten schools

Under Dan Lanning’s tenure, the Oregon Ducks have attracted many elite QB recruits. In the class of 2023, it was top 15 QBs, Dante Moore and Austin Novosad, though Moore ultimately flipped to UCLA. In the 2024 recruiting cycle, the Ducks have secured commitments from 4-star QB Michael Van Buren and 3-star Luke Moga. Looking to 2025, it seems the Ducks’ streak of QB fortune could be continued.

Earlier this month, Oregon native Bear Bachmeier — a 4-star QB in the class of 2025 — received an offer from the Ducks and expressed great interest in Oregon on Twitter. Now, it seems the Ducks have garnered the interest of another high-level 2025 QB prospect in Deuce Knight. Knight is a 4-star player rated as the 4th best QB in the class of 2025. On Friday, he announced his top ten schools, which included Oregon, Georgia, and Tennessee. While most of Knight’s schools are located in the midwest and the south, Knight also named Washington in his top ten, meaning Oregon hasn’t been the only Pacific school to draw his interest.
