Deuce Knight had a roller coaster 2023 season, transferring to Nashville's Lipscomb Academy over the summer just to return to his hometown school, Lucedale (Mississippi) George County in the middle of the season. Between the two stops, he accounted for 28 touchdowns across 10 games and threw only two interceptions. Despite all the changes, Knight felt like he improved considerably and cemented his stock as one of the best quarterbacks in the country. "I felt like in my sophomore season, I left the pocket quick – as soon as any pressure came," Knight told Mike Singer of BlueandGold.com "Also, I was trying to make more sound throws – not just making off-balanced throws when I don’t have to do that. As a quarterback, you think you can make any throw, but I wanted to be better in my mechanics instead of making off-platform throws. Everyone knows I can run. But can I sit there and make the throws? And I know I can do that. I’m glad I got to show people that.”
