Knowles II had a solid showing at FSU's Pro Day last month, recording a 4.48 40-yard dash, 4.27 shuttle, 41" vertical jump and 10'06" broad jump.

The Florida native is coming off a four-year career with the Seminoles where he was consistently a starter or member of the rotation. Knowles II battled through a handful of injuries during his time in garnet and gold.

In 2024, Knowles II totaled a career-best 32 tackles, two tackles for loss, one sack, and four pass deflections. He appeared in all 12 games and made 11 starts. Knowles II was honored with FSU's Monk Bonasorte Award which goes to the defensive player with the most heart.

Knowles II was FSU's Devaughn Darling Defensive Freshman of the Year in 2021.

In total, Knowles II appeared in 50 games and made 32 starts. He recorded 113 tackles, five tackles for loss, one sack, 11 pass deflections, and one interception.
