Relatively sure that Knoll will make huge impact in every sport he playes during his senior year for the Rockets starting next fall, we asked six questions so we would get to know the junior better.
Sentinel: What is your dream job?
Knoll: Police officer or DNR officer
Sentinel: Who are three people you would want to spend a month long vacation with?
Knoll: Kevin Hart, Duwayne "The Rock" Johnson, and Nolan Arenado.
Sentinel: Name one thing you learned about yourself during the pandemic?
Knoll: How dedicated I am to sports.
Sentinel: If you were a superhero what would your alias be and what would be your super power?
Knoll: Dam Dollar. My main special power would be the ability to read people's minds.
Sentinel: If you inherited a million dollars, what would be the first thing you would buy?
Knoll: A brand new truck.
Sentinel: Finally, where is your favorite place to eat?
Knoll: Monical's.
