McKnight played college football for the Montana Grizzlies where there as team captain he shared the team most valuable player award in 2010 with Chase Reynolds and in 2011 with Caleb McSurdy.[1]
McKnight was drafted eighth overall by the Montreal Alouettes in the 2011 CFL Draft and signed with them on July 8, 2012 after completing his college eligibility.[1] He was later traded to the Eskimos in exchange for a placekicker, a first and a fourth round pick in the 2013 CFL Draft on September 12, 2012.[2]
