They say everything is bigger in Texas. And the
Judson (Converse) football program has an offensive lineman who is hard to miss.
Sophomore
Jai'Storm Knight has the size, the tenacity and a name that can strike fear into those lined up across from him. At 6-foot-8 and 340 pounds, he has a tendency to leave defensive linemen on their backs.
"It's a blessing, truly, and the best part about it is I can move people against their will and that's what makes offensive line amazing," Knight said. "Going play after play seeing defensive linemen lose their spark going against you is what keeps me going."

Knight is regarded as one of the top 10 offensive tackle prospects in the Class of 2028 according to
247Sports. Arizona
State, Arkansas, Florida, Missouri, Tennessee, Texas and Texas A&M are among his 20 FBS offers.
Running behind Knight, Judson averages more than 155 rushing yards per game. While the Rockets currently sit at 2-4, Knight is rapidly maturing as a second-year varsity starter.
"I've learned a lot playing varsity football these past two years," Knight said. "The biggest thing I've learned is being able to move on to the next play just like in life because life keeps moving on. I also learned you have to be able to be accountable and have integrity."

On his X (Twitter) profile, Knight lists an 85-inch wingspan, 35-inch arms and 11-inch hands. He also has impressive marks in the classroom as a 3.7 student.
"I want to go to college and play football and hopefully start as a freshman," Knight said. "Also, someday I want to be in the NFL as a first-round draft pick."
