NC State’s Zonovan Knight Named to 247Sports Preseason Freshman All-American Team

NC State Running Back Zonovan Knight was named to 247Sports’ Preseason Freshman All-American Team yesterday.

RB – Zonovan Knight, NC State (No. 371, No. 27 RB)

Last fall, true freshman Ricky Person looked like the future of the Wolfpack rushing attack with 471 yards despite missing four games to injury. So it’s telling when there’s buzz that the best back on the roster is a new true freshman this fall. There’s even whispers that Knight may be one of the best players on the entire roster. (247)

Knight was one of only 2 running backs on the team.

Two other ACC Freshman made the team as well:

OL Jacob Monk – Duke
DL Jowon Briggs – Virginia
