Men’s track and field student-athlete Brandon Knight is this week's UNOPrivateers.com Student-Athlete of the Week.

A member of the Privateer basketball team the last two seasons, Knight returned to athletic competition this past week with the track and field program.

A fifth-year senior, this will be Knight’s lone season with the track program. Knight served as a student assistant in the athletic department during the fall semester.

Competing in the high jump for the first time since his senior season of high school, Knight made his mark instantly. A regional qualifier for Booker T. Washington High School in Pensacola, Fla., Knight impressed the UNO coaching staff throughout practice leading up to the competition and then soared over the bar at the 1.88 meter mark en route to a second place finish at the McNeese Indoor Invitational.
