Potential Iowa State football walk-on, McKnight, finds path on hardwood

There's been a litany of ailments for Cade McKnight since his high school days. The big man was 5-foot-10 in middle school and proceeded to shoot up nearly three inches each year of high school and now stands at 6-foot-9, which drummed up interest to play college ball in two arenas. The football and basketball player, born and bred in Grinnell, Iowa, chose hoops, largely because he didn't want to be a fixture in the training injury from knocks. “It was tough,” McKnight said.
