Auburn’s Deuce Knight, former 5-star QB, to enter transfer portal

The mass exodus from The Plains continues. Auburn quarterback Deuce Knight will enter the transfer portal when it opens on Friday, according to numerous reports.
Knight was in his true freshman season with the Tigers and had a strong debut against Mercer at the start of the season. The former 5-star prospect completed 15 of his 20 passing attempts for 239 yards and 2 touchdowns against the Bears alongside 162 rushing yards and 4 rushing touchdowns.
Knight also made a brief appearance against Ball State a few weeks later, but did not make any other appearances this season for the Tigers as Hugh Freeze opted to stick with Jackson Arnold.
Well over 25 players have already announced their intentions to enter the transfer portal, including Jackson Arnold and fellow backup Ashton Daniels. In other words, new head coach Alex Golesh is going to have his work cut out for him in adding new players out of the portal.
As mentioned above, the transfer portal officially opens on January 2, but players can announce their intentions to enter the portal early to get on the radar for potential suitors. Obviously, given Knight’s impressive performance against the Bears and his 5-star pedigree, Knight is going to be a hot commodity.
