2028 TOP QB RECRUIT KNOX KIFFIN
QB Knox Kiffin
6'2", 180
Oxford HS
(MS)
TOP 2028 QB RECRUIT
Scouting notes - Top 2028 QB recruit Knox Kiffin is a stellar QB prospect out of Oxford High School (MS) & has already begun to carve out his own reputation as one of the top signal-callers in the 2028 class. The son of Ole Miss head coach Lane Kiffin, Knox shows a natural understanding of the game that few his age can match, and his high football IQ is evident on every snap. His throwing mechanics are fluid and polished, highlighted by a compact release that allows him to get the ball out quickly and accurately. On film, he displays an advanced ability to layer throws with precision and touch, consistently dropping the ball over defenders into tight windows for his receivers to make plays. What sets Knox apart is not just his technical ability, but his poise and decision-making under pressure. In his matchup against Lafayette, he demonstrated his improvisational skills, keeping calm when downfield options were covered and wisely finding his check-down to extend the play into a big gain. This awareness and ability to adapt within the flow of the game is a rare trait for a young quarterback, signaling that he already processes defenses at a high level. Knox’s development is also accelerated by his unique background—growing up in a prestigious football family has given him a deep understanding of offensive concepts and defensive structures, which he has applied seamlessly in Oxford’s spread system. His journey began in California at Palos Verde, where he showed flashes of his high-ceiling talent, and since then, his performance at camps has drawn the attention of college recruiters nationwide. With a skillset that blends the cerebral sharpness of a Ryan Fitzpatrick with the potential upside of a generational talent like Dan Marino, Knox Kiffin projects as a future centerpiece for a major college football program .

(TX)
GPA - 4.6
TOP 2028 QB RECRUIT
Scouting notes - Top 2028 QB recruit Carter Zingelmann has quickly emerged as one of the most intriguing quarterback prospects in the 2028 recruiting cycle.
