Class of 2025 linebacker Noah Knigga announced on Friday that he will visit West Virginia on Jan. 14 as he considers his commitment decision. The Mountaineers are one of the options for the player, with the high school prospect also scheduled to visit Miami (OH) on Jan. 21.
The Indiana prospect has caught a lot of attention for his name, which many believe will cause a lot of controversy when he eventually enters the college football world.
Following the announcement of his planned visit to West Virginia, ESPN analyst Robert Griffin III weighed in on social media. He referred to a viral College GameDay video in which Rece Davis attempted to explain the meaning of Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe's brand "LANK", which stands for "Let a Naysayer Know." At the time, his cohosts on the show were worried he may utter a racial slur.
“That Naysayer built the arc,” Robert Griffin wrote on X.
