Prior to beginning his NFL career, Knight played quarterback for both the Oklahoma Sooners and the Texas A&M Aggies.
After earning the starting position for the Sooners as a redshirt freshman in 2013, Knight threw for a combined 3,424 yards with 25 touchdowns and 19 interceptions over the next three season.
