(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - Many D-1 schools have expressed interest but only one can land the services of Noah Knigga. 

The three-star linebacker from Lawrenceburg announced his verbal commitment to Eastern Michigan University on Friday. 

Knigga chose Eastern Michigan over West Virginia and Arkansas State, according to On3's Hayes Fawcett. 

The Tigers' star was a Class 3A Junior All-State selection in 2023. 

After dealing with an early season hamstring injury, Knigga totaled 51 tackles, 11 tackles for a loss, two sacks and two caused fumbles in only six games.
