Texas A&M account rectifies ESPN’s snub of QB Trevor Knight on Twitter

On Monday afternoon, SEC analyst Paul Finebaum tweeted a series of three “blind resumes” for college quarterbacks.

Louisville QB Lamar Jackson wasn’t included, as he is the clear Heisman favorite at the moment. The comparison included Clemson QB Deshaun Watson, Ohio State QB J.T. Barrett and Alabama QB Jalen Hurts:

However, one dual-threat quarterback may have been left out — Texas A&M QB Trevor Knight.

An Aggies’ Twitter account felt their signal caller was snubbed, and added Knight to the mix as the fourth option:

Hey @finebaum you forgot one…

Indeed, Knight’s numbers are better than those of Hurts’ and comparable to those of Watson’s and Barrett’s.

Finebaum quickly acknowledged his mistake:

Looks like @TexAgs may have a point! @trevor_knight9 has been great for @AggieFootball this season https://t.co/3Ll6u56LP6

Hurts and Knight will square off this weekend when the No. 6 Aggies travel to Tuscaloosa to face the No. 1 Crimson Tide.
