UCF mascot bears legacy of influential Knight
Last Saturday, a group of UCF Kappa Sigma alumni brothers reunited nearly 40 years after graduating to remember the man who may have saved their lives.
The brothers are among 300,000 students and alumni who currently call themselves Knights. But before the university’s name was changed from Florida Technological University, and before the school’s mascot was established, one Knight — dubbed by students as “Sir Knight” — was making an impact by shielding students from the draft during the Vietnam War.
The late Ed Knight Jr. died Aug. 16 at the age of 93, after retiring from a 20-year career as UCF’s director of records and registration. However, the university’s mascot, which was elected by students in his honor, is proof of Knight’s lasting legacy.
