Tennessee Tech CB Flashing Potential in Golden Eagles Secondary
Xavier Knight, a cornerback for the Tennessee Tech Golden Eagles, brings FCS-level athleticism and versatility from his high school days at Creek Wood (TN), where he was listed as a 5'9", 190-lb two-way standout (RB/LB per recruiting profiles). Transitioning to CB at the college level, his compact frame and multi-positional background suggest elite ball skills, tackling intensity, and scheme fit for zone-heavy defenses—ideal for teams seeking gritty, undersized DBs who punch above their weight without injury red flags. A sleeper to watch if Tech elevates in 2025-26.
