Noah 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.
Usually, a three-star prospect wouldn’t garner much attention, but because of his unique last name, it is hard for him to go anywhere or do anything without someone having something to say about it.
The Lawrenceburg (Ind) High School 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, Knigga found himself going viral once again after he signed his Eastern Michigan Jersey.

Noah Knigga Puts In The Work On The Field
Knigga played under his dad, Head Coach Ryan Knigga, while in high school. He set the school record for most career TFLs with 67 and finished with 318 career tackles. He was also a four-time all-conference honoree and won two conference championships, two sectional titles, and the 2022 state runner-up.
In his final year of high school football, Knigga posted 111 tackles, 25 tackles-for-loss, seven sacks, and two interceptions.
Noah Knigga was also selected to the Indiana Football Digest Prime Time 25 list as one of the best players in the state in 2024.
In his first three seasons of high school football, he posted 207 total tackles, 109 assisted tackles, 98 solo tackles, and 14 sacks.
He continues to show that he is much more than the jokes about his name.
