A Utah native who spent his first season of college football with the Utah Utes is now headed to the Big Ten Conference.

Just under a month ago on April 27, the 6-foot-6, 305-pound Knaak announced that he was entering the transfer portal after a freshman season in which he didn’t play at all.
In his announcement, Knaak wrote that, “Following spring practices, I have come to understand that it is in my best interest to enter the transfer portal with 4 years of eligibility remaining.”
