(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - Noah Knigga is the talk of the sports world right now. 

All it took was one post on X about an upcoming visit to West Virginia University. 

I’ll be taking a visit to West Virginia on January 14th! Excited for the great opportunity. @WVUfootball @NealBrown_WVU @CoachKoonz @trey_neyer @CoachLesley_WVU @CoachNardo14 @LBurgFootball @lhstigercoach pic.twitter.com/YwpIvyGcFS

To date, his post sits at 29 million impressions, not because of the announcement, but because of his name. 

The post has garnered so much attention that Pat McAfee, host of one of the biggest sports talk shows in the world, is talking about it. On Sunday night, Noah and his family joined Robert Griffin III, aka RGIII, on Instagram Live.

RGIII is one of the best college football players of all-time, winning the Heisman Trophy in 2011. He went on to play eight seasons in the NFL with the then Washington Redskins, Cleveland Browns, and Baltimore Ravens. He now works as a college football analyst for ESPN. 

RGIII invited the Knigga family on his channel to discuss the viral X post, but to also highlight Noah's abilities as a big time D-1 prospect. Knigga, an IFCA Junior All-State selection in 2023, currently has zero offers, but he has heard from multiple schools including West Virginia, Central Michigan, Indiana, Northwestern, Miami (Oh.), Liberty, and Eastern Michigan. 

He told RGIII on Sunday that several schools have reached out following his viral post, including LSU, who he named specifically. Knigga also told RGIII that his dream school is Oregon.

"It's been life changing," said Knigga. 

They also discussed Noah and twin sister, Natalie, going back-to-back on Friday and Saturday night as MVP of their respective Rivertown Classic Tournaments. That was a first in the 24 year history of the Rivertown Classic. 

Huge congratulations to my favorite duo, Natalie for clinching MVP on Friday night and Noah taking home the MVP honor on Saturday night! Super proud of both of you and your teams for securing the Rivertown Championship! 🏀🏆@KniggaNoah @NatalieTiger8 pic.twitter.com/6U10PoZcR4

Other topics of discussion included how parents, Ryan and Staci met, did they every consider changing their last name, and what kind of basketball players Noah and Natalie are.
