Notre Dame football QB commit reaffirms allegiance amid recruiting drama

It’s been a long while since Notre Dame football had a recruiting soap opera that was anywhere near as riveting as what’s going on with the Irish and its top quarterback commit, Deuce Knight. Like a soap opera, the story seems to take twists and turns one direction or the other every day.

Amidst the drama, it’s important to remember that Knight has repeatedly affirmed his allegiance to the Fighting Irish. His words, “I am a member of the Fighting Irish,” should not be taken lightly. 

While there has certainly been smoke to the rumors that Knight is looking elsewhere, he’s also constantly repping Notre Dame football. Whether it’s through the clothes he wears the way he comports himself on social media. The latest evidence entered into the record on Saturday was the superstar slinger referring to ND as “we” while signaling interest in the 2026 class.

That simple comment set off quite a reaction on Twitter.

"Deuuucceeeee!!! Keep representing bro and killing it at these Invites," one follower wrote in response. "ut them on notice whats going up at South Bend my guy!!! Let em know why your the top QB in the class!!!! Let's Be Great!!!

Others responded only with gifs. One gif in particular hit home.

Others noticed the phrasing.
