Over the Memorial Day weekend, 7-on-7 teams from all over the country migrated to Grayson (Ga.) High School in Atlanta for the C1N event.

Elite Pressure from Mississippi was one of the many teams in attendance, and their quarterback just happens to be one of the nation's best underclassmen.

2025 four-star Lucedale (Miss.) signal-caller Deuce Knight was the quarterback for Elite Pressure at the showcase. The left-handed prospect is already ranked as the No. 1 dual-threat in the 2025 cycle according to Rivals.

Knight's skillset was on full display during the two-day event, and VolReport is taking a closer look at a few plays that showcased the many talents of the rising junior.

This first clip was captured shortly after arriving, and in the short play you can see the lefty roll out to his right side and from across his body deliver a ball that appeared to be on a laser.

Knight rolls to his left and works through his reads before setting his feet and firing a strike up the seam. You can see the patience as this play has to really develop. The running back coming out of the backfield opened the throwing lane for Knight to hit his target.

Knight is on the roll to the left again – and this time it only takes one read. The outside receiver was covered, which appeared to be where Knight wanted to go. Seeing it was covered, he sets his feet, squares up, and hits the underneath crossing route.

Staying in the pocket, the 2025 four-star moves quickly through his progression before throwing a dart up the seam that had to make it over a defender to his intended receiver – but quick enough and at a trajectory where the deep defenders couldn't get there in time to come over the top. Quick reads and ball placement stick out in this one.

There's two plays in this single clip.

You'll see on the first that Knight, as he is growing, is understanding that sometimes you just have to take what the defense gives you – developing patience. The reads are mad quick before dumping the ball off on a hitch route.

The second clip shows Knight once again roll to his left and influence the defenders with his eyes and shoulders before instantly stopping, getting set, and delivering an absolute dime over the top for a score.

Knight – at every bit of 6-foot-4 and 190 pounds – is as skilled and fluid as they come. The Mississippi product has a very high ceiling with tremendous amounts of room to grow. It was shown during the 7-on-7 event that the rising junior can move well, throw on the run, and distribute the ball at all levels of the field both accurately and successfully.

When you look at what Tennessee coach Josh Heupel has done with Hendon Hooker and Joe Milton, it is clear that he has an idea for his offense – but also alters the play calling to the strengths of his guys. So, with both Knight and 2025 Brentwood (Tenn.) quarterback George MacIntrye being two different styles of players in a sense, Vols fans should have nothing but confidence that Heupel and offensive coordinator Joey Halzle will get the best out of whoever the next man is.

Josh Heupel has a blueprint to the offense that he runs and coaches so well. Landing 2023 five-star quarterback Nico Iamaleava, followed by the commitment of 2024 four-star Jake Merklinger, Tennessee is going to try and land a top gunslinger in every class to ensure the continued success of the Vols' offense.

Looking at 2025, the Vols are keyed-in on two guys: George Macintyre and Deuce Knight.

Macintyre is four-star quarterback that is in-state and ranked as the nation's No. 4 pro-style quarterback, while Knight is ranked as the No.1 dual-threat quarterback according to Rivals.

Both young men are special prospects, and Heupel and Coach Halzle have to be excited about the quarterback room moving forward. Landing one of these targets could truly put a lot in motion in terms of recruiting and pushing the needle for long-term success on Rocky Top.
