"We're thrilled to add another local product to our program," Benson said. "He had a nice career at both Seymour and Lakeway Christian. He adds size and has loads of potential. His ceiling is way up there. We're thrilled to get a chance to work with and develop him."
A 6-8 power forward who was coached by former Carson-Newman assistant Shane Williams at Lakeway Christian Academy, Knight averaged 14.4 points and eight boards per game suiting up for the Lions.
A two-time all-tournament player, Knight helped the Lions to a NACA Championship in 2018-19 and a runner up finish in 2019-20.
The son of Tori and Richard Knight, he plans to study business at Carson-Newman.
