Caden Knighten is Baylor’s compact, versatile RB with real all-purpose juice
In the 2025 season, Knighten gave Baylor efficient depth at running back, finishing with 104 carries for 469 rushing yards and 11 receptions for 134 yards, plus two total touchdowns, showing he can contribute as both a runner and a receiver.[4][12] His best selling points are balance and versatility: he’s a sturdy 5-11/212-pound back who can handle volume, stay involved in the passing game, and produce explosive moments with a 49-yard rush and a 39-yard catch in 2025.[1][2] He profiles as a dependable, all-purpose fit rather than a pure feature-back burner.[1][4]
