Knuth, who will still have 4 years of eligibility remaining after his transfer, was a three-star recruit out of high school where he never lost a game as a quarterback. He has no collegiate stats and has nothing after high school as far as film. He is one out of seventeen Minnesota Gophers to enter the portal this year. This particular transfer was more out of necessity as he was completely lost in the Gopher’s depth chart for what would seem to be the next few years. When he didn’t see a path to playing time he took his opportunity to gander around the portal and see who has interest.

Auburn football has seen three players officially depart this week, with Tar'Varish Dawson announcing intentions to transfer early Saturday morning.

Dawson joins the following Auburn Tigers that have announced that they will be in the transfer portal.

Defensive lineman Jeffrey M'ba

Linebacker Kameron Brown

Linebacker Desmond Tisdol

The Auburn Tigers have pulled in an impressive haul thus far during Hugh Freeze's first season on the Plains, currently sitting at No. 3 nationally in 247Sports' transfer portal class rankings.
