Collins High School senior guard Dayvion McKnight announced his commitment to Western Kentucky on Thursday, making him the first to verbally commit to the Hilltoppers in the Class of 2020.
McKnight, a 6-foot-2, 180-pound guard from Shelbyville, chose the Hilltoppers over 12 other reported offers, pointing out Stansbury’s commitment to him for well over a year.
McKnight isn’t rated by recruiting services Rivals or 247Sports, but the Hilltoppers have targeted the guard since Collins attended a team camp over a year ago.
McKnight’s offers picked up over the spring and summer playing for the M.A.T.T.S Mustangs Under Armour AAU team.
