Things Got Awkward After Eastern Michigan Coach Yelled “Noah Knigga” On The Loudspeaker While Introducing The Freshman Star Ahead Of His First Practice

Noah Knigga is a linebacker for Lawrenceburg High School in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.

If you’ve been on social media at all over the past year or so, then you’ve seen this young man trending over his name.

Knigga is getting ready to advance to the next phase of his football career.

In June 2024, Eastern Michigan received the commitment of the three-star linebacker. He held offers from ten total schools. He received one power conference offer from West Virginia.

The three-star prospect standout went extremely viral earlier in 2024 and had nothing to do with his athletic abilities on the basketball court or football field.

This week, Noah Knigga found himself going viral again after arriving for his first day of practice at Eastern Michigan.
