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.

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.
