Shekai Mills-Knight Names Finalists, Sets Commitment Date

2025 four-star running back Shekai Mills-Knight (Chattanooga, Tenn.) has named five finalists, including the Tennessee Volunteers, and a commitment date.

During this cycle, Baylor School running back Shekai Mills-Knight has been one of the most coveted backs in the southeast. The 6-foot-2, 210-pounder amassed interest from some of the top programs in the country after a breakout junior campaign.

The No. 271 prospect in the On3 Industry Rankings narrowed his recruitment to five finalists ahead of a decision. Alabama, Auburn, Miami, Ole Miss, and Tennessee will each have a hat on the table on August 17th when Mills-Knight announces his decision.
