The Renegade Report got the chance to pick the mind of the extremely talented DB target from Cardinal Newman HS in Palm Beach, FL Ricky Knight III

Welcome to the Renegade Report exclusive conversation with blue chip athlete Ricky Knight III now at Cardinal Newman High-School in West Palm Beach. Ricky plays in the most competitive prep football area in the entire nation. South Florida is pretty much the Mecca of College Football no matter how bad it hurts Texas and California's feelings.
Ricky was in town for an official visit this past weekend and it was a good one from all reports and our following conversation. He is a star for Cardinal Newman headed into the 2023 season after announcing he would transfer there from The Benjamin School this past Saturday. Knight also plays both sides of the ball; in addition to his elite skills as a defensive back he is also a playmaking wide receiver.
His lead recruiter at Florida State is our new DBs Coach Patrick Surtain Sr. and he is no stranger to South Florida's prep football scene having coached at American Heritage High School for many years. I personally believe Ricky could be one of the next great Seminole Cornerbacks should he choose the Noles. He is currently Crytal Balled to FSU by several top insiders along with his cousin and teammate 3☆ WR Kevin Levy.
1 on 1 With Ricky Knight
Renegade Report - “I have to start with the obvious question first, how your official visit go?”
Ricky Knight III- “My official went great, I had a lot of fun with the other recruits and I also enjoyed being around the players. On my visit I was able to dive deeper into the school, I saw the dorms/apartments and I also learned more about my major.”
Renegade Report - “That is awesome! FSU has some pretty cool programs hopefully inline with what your after. What are you planning on studying?"
Ricky Knight III - “I plan to study broadcast journalism”
Renegade Report - “I'm curious what drew you into Broadcast Journalism?”
Ricky Knight III - “Honestly, I just feel as though I talk really well and I like to be on the TV”
Renegade Report - “I'd have to agree with ya there to be honest. Back to Seminoles Football, folks are super excited about the addition of Patrick Surtain Sr; how has it been getting to know him through this process?
Ricky Knight III - “Honestly Pat Surtain was very easy to connect with. He’s from the crib so talking to him was easy, we could literally talk about anything and have some sort of connection.

Renegade Report - My final Question is gonna be another obvious one but where do the Noles currently stand & do you have any kind of timetable in place?
Ricky Knight III - I don’t have any type of list or anything to rank teams but I will say that I very much so love FSU, it was a blessing to have them as my first offer.
I want to say thank you once again to Ricky Knight III for taking the time to speak with me and we wish him the best possible outcome for his Senior year in High school football!
