Highly rated quarterback recruit Deuce Knight has flipped his commitment from one college program to another in a shocking move.
Knight, the No. 5 QB and No. 29 overall in the 2025 recruiting class, announced his intention to play for Notre Dame last September. However, he has made a U-turn after spending a year committed to the Fighting Irish.
The signal-caller announced having flipped his commitment from Notre Dame to Auburn via social media on Wednesday night.
“I’m here now Auburn family,” he was quoted as saying in a post from ON3’s Hayes Fawcett.
“I’m coming after Naeem Offord, Andrew Babaloa, Caleb Cunningham, Ousmane Kromah, & CJ Wiley. I’m not stopping until they slide to AU! Ain’t no more Freeze Warning, it’s Freezing on the Plains now.”
