Kevin Knight brings steady, high-volume production to UNC’s secondary
Kevin Knight is a reliable, physical cornerback for North Carolina who showed he can handle full-time duty by starting all 12 games and finishing with 62 tackles and seven pass breakups in the season cited by UNC. His biggest differentiators are durability, willingness to tackle, and active ball disruption rather than flashy turnover numbers, which suggests a defender who competes snap-to-snap and helps in run support. At 5-foot-9, 175 pounds, he projects as a fit for teams that value toughness, consistency, and assignment discipline over pure size.
