Scouting Report
Wayne Knight is a RB at UCLA. His production history starts this season. He finished the 2025 season as the #5 producer among 495 qualifying RBs in our college data.
Wayne Knight was a load at James Madison, a compact three-down back who piled up over 1,300 yards, caught two dozen balls, and even ran for 110 on Oregon in the College Football Playoff. Here's the part that matters: he didn't make the jump to UCLA alone, his head coach Bob Chesney came with him from JMU along with a whole crew of teammates, so the offense that fed him travels too. His role ticks up to a true bell-cow and that's a bet worth making, but be honest about the leap. Torching Sun Belt defenses is a different animal than lining up against Big Ten fronts every Saturday, and that competition jump is the whole question.
