McKnight on Montana State: “I really liked the school, the season was coming to an end and I felt that was the right place for me. I love the outdoors aspect of it. The football field is awesome and the surrounding area. I loved the downtown, the main drag, the whole town.”
Film: Brody McKnight Highlights
Coach Choate on McKnight: “Brody is a very decorated offensive lineman who comes from a tremendous program, Eastside Catholic High School, the same high school as (current Bobcat offensive lineman) Alex Neale. They won a state championship his junior year. He’s an interior offensive lineman who is very physical, was a multi-year starter. He’s a big, mature kid right now who can come in and add not only size and strength to our offensive line but also depth.”
