The Knightly Newsletter - June 24, 2021

We’ve got a new podcast up and some good NFL news as a second Knight joins the LA Rams. Let’s get after it:

As we wind down the 2020-2021 season, it’s time for our Black & Gold Banneret Awards! Eric and I run through all of the nominees in all of the categories (including some new ones) and give our takes on each of them. Plus Bryson joined us to break down Rayniah Jones’ Olympic Trials journey.

Otis has a job! After trying out with the Titans, the Rams snapped him up and signed him to a 3-year, $2.4 million contract (per Jason Beede and Spotrac), although nothing guaranteed, so he has to make the team to get paid.

Can confirm at least one guy on the Rams is happy about this:

Dear Sean McVay: Please arrange a 100-yard race between Darrell Henderson and Otis ASAP.

Turns out Ann-Marie Blaney isn’t the only UCF Knight aiming for an Olympic spot.

Charlotte Crook, a sophomore from Preston, England, is competing in the 1500 in the British National Championships, which is their version of the Olympic Trials.

Crook finished third in the AAC Championships but couldn’t compete at the NCAAs due to an illness. Her best time in the 1500 is 4:21.64.

Stop teasing us, Parker. When’s the debut?

Nothing UCF, so here’s what else is on.

That’s all - Catch you tomorrow! #ChargeOn
