Report: Deuce Knight to visit Auburn for second-straight weekend

Auburn football will get another chance to sway Notre Dame commit Deuce Knight this weekend.

According to a report from Steve Wiltfong of On3, Knight is returning to Auburn this weekend to watch the Tigers face California at Jordan-Hare Stadium. Knight was a part of a star-studded visitor list for Auburn’s season opener against Alabama A&M last weekend that included four-star linebacker Elijah Melendez, four-star running back ousmane kromah, and Alabama’s top 2025 recruit, Na'eem Offord.

According to Wiltfong, Knight has built relationships with Hugh Freeze and the director of recruiting Kenyatta Watson has led to the upward trend. Also, the possibility of playing quarterback in the SEC intrigues Knight.

Although still committed to Notre Dame, Knight has remained a high priority for Hugh Freeze and the Auburn Tigers. Rumors began circulating about a possible flip since Big Cat Weekend in July, an event Knight attended. The Lucedale, Mississippi native has a 91.1% forecast from On3 to flip to Auburn while Steve Robertson and Tom Loy of 247Sports have submitted flip predictions in favor of Auburn.

Knight is a top-10 quarterback according to all major recruiting outlets for the 2025 class and ranks as high as No. 2 in the state of Mississippi.
