Noah Knigga is a 3-star linebacker from Lawrenceburg, Indiana who is beginning to take recruiting visits across the nation as he looks forward embarking on a College Football career in 2025.
Robert Griffin III, current ESPN College Football and Monday Night Countdown analyst, was one of the more prominent figures to take notice of the high schol football star’s unique name.
After all, Robert Griffin III would potentially be one of the people tasked with saying ‘Noah Knigga’ on TV in the future which could lead to some blowback for obvious reasons.RG3 met with Noah Knigga to ask him how to pronounce his name and shared that video earlier this week:
@rgiii The Knigga Family went viral so I decided to sit down and get to know the Knigga’s behind the name.
Part 2:
@rgiii Ain’t no shame in the Knigga name” Sitting down with the Knigga family PART 2 The Knigga Family wants you to pronounce their last name correctly and respect everyone.
How To Pronounce Noah Knigga’s Name
Noah Knigga broke it down for Robert Griffin III, telling him it is pronounced “Ka-nay-guh.”
RG3 called out that the ‘Ka’ pronunciation “might ruin the name” for some people. Implying that pronouncing Noah Knigga’s name as “ka-nay-guy” isn’t as colorful as RG3 might have liked it to be.
For anyone following the viral story closely, Noah’s father had already cleared up how the family’s last name is pronounced in a video last weekend:
