Former Alabama OL Amari Kight announces transfer commitment

Former Alabama offensive lineman Amari Knight is headed to UCF, as he announced via social media on Friday.

The 6-foot-7, 318-pounder saw action in 12 games this season, serving as a backup left tackle while also doing some work on special teams. It will be interesting to see what he ultimately accomplishes with his new change of scenery in a different conference as he prepares to block for standout quarterback John Rhys Plumlee.

Kight has impressed statistical (even though numbers aren’t the first thing that come to mind for offensive linemen), according to Pro Football Focus, he led the Crimson Tide with an 85.2 run-blocking grade while finishing third with an 84.4 pass-blocking mark.
