No. 1 dual-threat QB in 2025 class visits Auburn

Auburn offered 2025 quarterback Deuce Knight in January.

Wednesday, Knight visited campus for the first time.

"I just wanted to stop by and see places that’s recruiting me," Knight said. "Every school that’s recruiting me, I kinda want to stop by and see. It was a good time, the campus is nice. The facility, it’s the best facility I’ve been to, but I’ve had a good time."

Knight spent most of the day with offensive coordinator Philip Montgomery. When the afternoon rolled around, the No. 1 dual-threat QB in the 2025 class got a chance to observe practice.

"It was fun watching practice," Knight said. "They compete hard. Offense, they had a good day. Just seeing them throw it around, move around, run, it was cool."

The players weren't the only ones he was observing. Knight paid attention to Montgomery's coaching style.

"He coached good, he made sure all his players knew everything," Knight said. "He made sure they know everything they need to know before they get on the field."

The 6-foot-4 QB also spent a brief moment speaking with head coach Hugh Freeze.

"He’s an offensive-minded coach, so if you want to play for an offensive minded coach, I’m an offensive player, that’s the type of coach I wanna play for," Knight said.

While it's still early in his recruitment, Knight does know he wants to commit early. There aren't any front runners or favorites at the moment, as he's still working to get around to some other schools showing interest, but he has thought about what his commitment could mean.

"As a QB, you’re automatically the leader of the class," Knight said. "So committing early, trying to get other guys to come play with you at your respective school, that’s just something good to do, so I have thought a little bit about it."

He'll visit Notre Dame Saturday and Mississippi State next week, but a return to Auburn will happen at some point.

"For sure, in the summer, in the fall, I’m gonna catch a game, too," Knight said.
