Malik Knight gives Pitt a proven vertical threat after a breakout 2025 at Western Carolina
Knight emerged as a high-upside outside receiver in 2025, finishing with 47 catches for 774 yards and 7 touchdowns at Western Carolina and earning Second Team All-Southern Conference honors. His differentiators are big-play efficiency and a strong late-bloom profile: he averaged nearly 16.5 yards per catch in 2025 and showed he can produce against quality competition, including a 103-yard, 2-TD game. For a team, he looks like a useful fit if you want a physical, ascending WR who can stretch the field and has already translated development into production.
