The look
MaxPreps listed 4.6 assists per game from his DeMatha sophomore season. McKnight did that as a point guard at Iowa United Prep. ESPN ranks him No. 90 with a scout grade of 82.
ESPN listed offers from Boise State, Butler, California, Pepperdine, SMU, UNLV and Virginia Tech as of July 30, 2026. Sports Illustrated reported the same seven as finalists after the Iowa United Prep move. He remains uncommitted. The states producing the most 2027 recruits is the house piece that sits next to this card. I would file McKnight under No. 83 and the published 2027 card at Iowa United Prep. Iowa United Prep can argue the rest in the gym.
What to watch
Can he stay a lead guard against longer defenders on a national prep schedule?
