Amariyun Knighten brings proven ball production and shutdown potential to Indiana’s secondary
Knighten is a physical, experienced **transfer DB** who earned notice at Northern Illinois by delivering in big moments, most notably a fourth-quarter interception in the 2024 upset of Notre Dame that helped set up the game-winning drive. In 2024, he posted **13 tackles, 4 pass breakups, and 1 interception**, and reports also note strong PFF marks in tackling and coverage. His calling card is reliability: he has extensive game experience, plays with composure, and projects as a fit for a team that values disciplined coverage and turnover creation over flashy, high-variance play.[12][15][17]
