STM Take
First STTM ranking at tier 8 (#75) in year two for a 118th overall 4th-round pick is on the year-two band for Day 3 LB prospects. The UTEP Conference USA 4th-round origin plus the Seahawks' position-specific coaching give him basic college foundation. The 2026 question is whether Knight crosses into tier 7 territory or whether the role compresses to swing depth.
Knight came out of UTEP as the Seattle Seahawks' 4th-round pick (118th overall) in 2024. He spent his rookie year as developmental depth before emerging into a rotational role in 2025. His first STTM appearance comes in 2025 at tier 8 (#75), the year-two developmental band for 4th-round LB prospects.
Strengths
- UTEP Conference USA 4th-round draft pedigree plus the structural Seahawks anchor reps gives him basic college foundation.
- Year-two starter snaps for the Seahawks at age 23 plus the structural anchor reps gives him the developmental runway.
Concerns
- Single tier 8 finish without prior STTM history caps the long-term projection certainty.
- Seattle's broader defensive identity transition compresses the structural support around Knight.
What to watch: Whether Knight crosses into tier 7 (top 55) in 2026, the standard year-three threshold for 4th-round LB picks on stable-starter trajectories.
