After leading Pearl High School to a perfect 16-0 record and a Mississippi 6A state title, Tylan Knight was only a two-star rated athlete heading into Wednesday’s signing day.
However, Ole Miss head coach Matt Luke thinks he may be this year’s biggest surprise, even being the lowest-rated signee in the 2018 class.
The 5-foot-7, 170-pound dynamo played on both sides of the ball in high school and oozes electricity. Totaling 2,742 all-purpose yards and 25 touchdowns in his four years, Knight took snaps at quarterback, running back and in the slot as a receiver on offense and accumulated 117 tackles as a senior defensive back.
