2025 Cincinnati Football Target Shekai Mills-Knight Talks Relationship With Bearcats
TUNNEL HILL — Cincinnati football target Shekai Mills-Knight has been gaining traction from many schools as a 2025 prospect. However, his love for Cincinnati is staying consistent.
Mills-Knight is a running-back prospect in the 2025 class from Baylor High School in Chattanooga, Tennessee. He holds offers from many promising programs, including Cincinnati, Ole Miss, Tennessee, and others.
He measures in at 6-foot-2, 210 pounds, and is a balanced back who shows flashes of speed with bruising power behind each run. Mills-Knight started to gain tons of attention before the off-season kicked in as one of the top rushers in the state.
He recently talked to All Bearcats to update his recruitment and relationship with Cincinnati.
“I have a really great relationship with Cincinnati, especially with Coach Sims checking in on me every 1-2 days. I really feel the love. I’m trying to get out there sometime in the near future,” the talented Baylor High School athlete said before talking about running backs coach De'Rail Sims, “That’s my guy; we’re locked in. He checks up on me very often, and I like how he’s a man of God just like me! He encourages me to go get it and keep winning the day.”
A few things caught his eye about Cincinnati.
“They produce some ballers,” Shekai stated. “Coach Sims told me they need a bigger back like me, and they like to pound that football and even use me in all-purpose ways to catch some, so I'd fit in pretty well at Cincinnati.”
He is scheduling a visit to Cincinnati “sometime in the near future.” He also said he feels like a priority to this Cincinnati coaching staff. It is safe to say that Mills-Knight feels the love from UC.
