Henry Knighton brings arm talent and starter upside to GW’s young pitching mix
In the 2026 season, George Washington’s Henry Knighton has flashed both starter and bullpen value, including a two-inning start against Navy in which he allowed one run and helped set up a 4-1 win. He entered GW as a top-500 national recruit, and his profile suggests a competitive, strike-throwing righty with legitimate two-way pedigree from St. Christopher’s—where he hit .371 and struck out 110 batters over his first three varsity seasons. The fit? Intriguing arm strength, but he still looks like a developing pitcher rather than a finished product.
