Knight is a 6-5 right-hander who appeared in 17 games as a freshman in 2018, starting 11 contests. He finished with a 5-5 record, with four complete games and 51 strikeouts.

Also signing with his letter of intent that day was ECCC sophomore outfielder Dakota Kennedy who inked with Mississippi College in Clinton. The Choctaws compete in NCAA Division II and the Gulf South Conference.
Kennedy prepped at Choctaw Central High School. As a freshman in 2018, he played in all 46 games hitting. 267. For the season, he had 39 hits, including seven doubles, a team-leading four triples, and three home runs. He tied for the team lead in runs batted in with 33 and was third in stolen bases with 15.
