High school

He originally played WR but was forced to play QB by his senior year because he was double and triple teamed at the WR position. According to rivals.com McKnight was rated the 5th most talented individual at wide receiver in the country, and rated the 42 overall player nationally. He was one of several Notre Dame Fighting Irish recruits to play in the 2002 U.S. Army All-American Bowl along with Anthony Fasano, Maurice Stovall, Chris Frome, and Marcus Freeman.
