Bam Knight has been mulling his future since NC State’s regular season ended, and on Thursday evening he announced that he’ll be forgoing his final two years of eligibility to enter the 2022 NFL Draft. He’s been a big part of the program’s success the last two years, and I’m sorry to see him go.
Knight ran for more than 2,200 yards over three seasons and never averaged less than 5.4 yards per carry in a season. He also returned three kickoffs for touchdowns, and two of those came in 2021, which earned him first-team All-ACC honors as a specialist.
