Former Western Kentucky guard Dayvion McKnight commits to Xavier
By CHARLIE PARENT
Western Kentucky transfer Dayvion McKnight has committed to Xavier, he announced Monday.
The 6-foot-1 guard, who is heralded for his scoring ability, averaged 16.5 points on 46% shooting. He also hauled in 5 rebounds, dished out 3.8 assists, and nabbed 1.8 steals per game for the Hilltoppers last season.
“I feel it’s a great fit for me,” McKnight told On3 Sports. “Being in the Big East, one of the best conferences in the country, and being able to play for a point guard head coach. I feel Xavier will make me a better player and person.”
