Deuce Knight, a 4-star 2025 QB from Mississippi, transfers to Lipscomb Academy football

The state's biggest high school football transfer has landed at Lipscomb Academy, joining an already star-studded football roster.

Deuce Knight, a 6-foot-5, 195-pound junior, has transferred from Mississippi to the Nashville private school. Knight was the No. 2 college prospect in Mississippi for the Class of 2025, according to the 247Sports Composite. He's also the No. 5 quarterback in the country and No. 81 overall recruit.

Knight announced his transfer to Lipscomb Academy on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter.

The left-hander is a four-star prospect and threw for 1,929 yards, rushed for 488 yards and had 23 total touchdowns in nine games for George County in 2022.

He joins Brentwood Academy junior quarterback George MacIntyre as two of Tennessee's top QB recruits for the Vols' 2025 class. MacIntyre is the No. 2 QB in the country.

Knight also has offers from Alabama, Auburn, Notre Dame and Ole Miss. He joins a lineup that includes a pair of 2024 Tennessee commitments in Kaleb Beasleyand Edwin Spillman.

Knight headlines a quarterback group that includes Jackson Kilburg and Tav Shaffer. Neither Kilburg or Shaver have started a varsity game.

The Mustangs are coached by Pro Football Hall of Famer Kevin Mawae, who replaced former coach Trent Dilfer in the offseason.

Lipscomb Academy is ranked No. 19 in the country in MaxPreps' preseason rankings. It enters the season on a 21-game winning streak. The Mustangs open the season hosting fourth-ranked IMG Academy (Florida) on Aug. 18 before playing at No. 75 Saraland (Alabama) in Week 2.

Elite 2025 QB Deuce Knight names Top 10

Hayes Fawcett

2025 QB Deuce Knight.(Sam Spiegelman, On3)

Four-star quarterback Deuce Knight of Lucedale (MS) Georgia County High has narrowed his list to ten schools.

The 6-foot-4,190 pounder is down to the following: Tennessee, Notre Dame, Washington, TCU, Ole Miss, Georgia, Auburn, Texas A&M, South Carolina, and Oregon.

Knight went in-depth on his finalists with On3.

Tennessee Volunteers

“My relationships with the staff are great. The offense is explosive, and what Coach Heupel does with QBs speaks for itself.”

Notre Dame Fighting Irish

“The whole coaching staff are great people and Notre Dame is a school where if you come everyday focus on your goals. I believe you can’t lose in life because of the top notch academics and you’re playing football on a national stage.”

Washington Huskies 

“Coach Grubb and Coach DeBoer are great people and they had one of the most explosive offenses in the nation, which is intriguing.”

TCU Horned Frogs

“Coach Briles lets me know I’m their number 1 prospect everytime we speak. He did great things with his offense at Arkansas and I want to learn more about what he does.”

Ole Miss Rebels

“Coach Kiffin is one of the best offensive minds in CFB. I talk to the staff just about everyday and it’s the hometown school.”

Georgia Bulldogs 

“They are winners and that’s what I like. Georgia puts their guys in the NFL as long as you do what you’re supposed to.”

Auburn Tigers

“I was one of the first people Coach Freeze offered when he first got to Auburn. The relationship is there and his offenses are always good.”

Texas A&M Aggies

“Coach Petrino and Coach Fisher both have had QBs go in the first round and win Heismans, so they know how to develop QBs

South Carolina Gamecocks

“I was born in Columbia, so that’s my dream school. Everything is nice about SC and Coach Loggains is very smart and a great recruiter.”

Oregon Ducks

“Oregon is kind of a dream school for everyone so I just really want to learn more about them and what they do.”

Knight ranks as the No. 85 player in the On3 Industry Ranking, a weighted average that utilizes all four major recruiting media companies. He also tabs in as the No. 6 quarterback and the No. 3 player in the state of Mississippi.

My #1 "want" at QB in the 2025 class. Auburn is trending but it's obviously far from over. Ole Miss might cry a river if they lose this dude.

This '25 class is gonna be awesome!

[mustache eagle 2,454]

I hope we land the pair … but historically it seems the “package deals” seem to not work out more than they do.  Let’s hope this one happens.

Yeah I never pay attention to the package deal comments because it never works unless the 2 are related

Don't sleep on 24. It could be our highest rated class in the recruiting site era until we get to 2025.

@mustache eagle Don't think they're a package deal.

I'm not.  I've said '24 will be highly ranked,  been very vocal about it. It just won't be as high as the '25 class.  The '24 class will be the foundation our championship runs are built.

This is the first time I've read about him but I'm assuming Tennessee will be hard to beat out for him.
