2023 Countdown to IUFB Kickoff: 62 Days (Cam Knight)

Written by: Sammy Jacobs (@Hoosier_Huddle)

The 2023 edition of the Hoosier Huddle Countdown is officially underway! We are counting down from 100 to the beginning of the 2023 Indiana University football season. Each day, we will look at one (or two) players on the current Indiana football roster and highlight the player’s role in the upcoming season. Today we look at offensive lineman Cam Knight.

Name: Cam Knight

Hometown: Noblesville, Indiana (Noblesville)

Position: Offensive Line

Year: Redshirt Junior

Height/Weight: 6’3”/294 pounds

Cam Knight is the younger brother of former Hoosier standout Brandon Knight and that set the bar high for Cam. Knight has only appeared in three games for the Hoosiers and as a redshirt junior the time is now for him to make an impact on the offensive line. Knight was listed as the backup center last season and will be there again this year. However, an injury prevented him from getting starts last year when Zach Carpenter went down with an injury.

This year, Knight will again be the backup to Carpenter. While the playing time at center may be clogged up, if Knight shows that he can be more effective than some of the other interior linemen maybe the Hoosiers shuffle the rotation and put Carpenter at guard where he played several games last season.

Knight has not lived up to the bar his brother set, but he has not stayed healthy nor gotten the game reps necessary to actually see what he brings to the table.

The Hoosier Huddle Countdown to Kickoff rolls on with Day 61 tomorrow!
