Evan McKnight is a rugged, high-motor big who gives S.F. State real defensive juice
In the 2025-26 season, Evan McKnight played 27 games with 25 starts for San Francisco State, averaging 3.9 points, 4.0 rebounds, and 0.5 blocks while shooting .686 from the field, a nice sign of efficient interior finishing.[1][5] The former league defensive player of the year brings size (listed at 6-foot-10/6-foot-11), rim protection, and a blue-collar edge that coaches love—plus he showed a career-high 12-point outing and a four-block game, which hints at upside beyond the box score.[1][12][14]
