Scouting Verdict

Wayne Knight is a James Madison transfer RB and one of the more proven offensive skill players on the roster: 1,373 rushing yards, 9 TD, plus 40 catches for 397 yards in 2025 — a true workhorse, three-down back. Projected RB1 at UCLA. The production is excellent and the receiving chops add value, but it came at the G5 level and RB is a devalued position, capping him at priority-UDFA on the tape. The jump to Big Ten is the question.
