Yamir Knight

With Texas Tech looking to add playmakers on the offensive side of the ball, James Madison wide receiver/punt returner Yamir Knight took a midweek visit to Lubbock. The Delaware native led the Dukes in receptions last season, totaling 53 catches for 605 receiving yards (11.4 yards per reception) and 4 touchdowns.

The 5-foot-8, 180 pound slot has heard from many different schools, and says that following the visit he's closing in on his decision.

RedRaiderSports was able to conduct a Q&A with Knight to discuss the visit and learn which other schools he's considering.
