ESPN: Former Auburn quarterback Deuce Knight signed with Ole Miss on Sunday, sources confirmed to ESPN, giving the No. 6 Rebels a potential starter for 2026 if Trinidad Chambliss doesn't win his fight for a sixth season of eligibility.
Knight, from Lucedale, Mississippi, was ranked the No. 2 dual-threat quarterback in the Class of 2025. He committed to Notre Dame in September 2023 before flipping to Auburn, where he played in two games this past season.
The 6-foot-4, 217-pound signal-caller spent much of the 2025 season sitting behind Jackson Arnold and Ashton Daniels. He did start in the Tigers' 62-17 victory against FCS program Mercer on Nov. 22, completing 15 of 20 passes for 239 yards and two touchdowns, while running for 162 yards and four scores.
Knight entered the transfer portal after new Auburn coach Alex Golesh brought in Byrum Brown, his former starting quarterback at South Florida.
