Noah Knigga is a freshman at Eastern Michigan University.
He is getting set to spend his first year in college after becoming a viral sensation at Lawrenceburg High School in Lawrenceburg, Indiana.
Knigga is getting ready to advance to the next phase of his football career.
The three-star prospect standout went extremely viral earlier in 2024 and had nothing to do with his athletic abilities on the basketball court or football field.
EA Sports College Football 26 launched with high expectations after the franchise’s triumphant return in 2025.
Despite the excitement surrounding the launch of the game, fans were hoping to see him in the game.
Unfortunately, Noah Knigga will not be in the game.

In his final year of high school football, Knigga posted 111 tackles, 25 tackles-for-loss, seven sacks, and two interceptions. Knigga was also selected to the Indiana Football Digest Prime Time 25 list as one of the best players in the state in 2024.
Hopefully, an update is on the way and fans can play with Knigga soon.
