Sioux Falls Storm great Tyler Knight (MVSU) retires
SIOUX FALLS, South Dakota -- One of the Storm’s all-time greats has called it a career.
Linebacker Tyler Knight announced on Sunday that he’s retiring from pro football, posting a photo of his Storm helmet and jersey on Twitter with the hashtags #supermanhasleftthebuilding and #theend.
Knight leaves as one of the most decorated and celebrated players in Storm history.
A Little Rock, Ark., native and All-SWAC performer at Mississippi Valley State, Knight played a total of six seasons with Sioux Falls, winning five United Bowl championship rings, earning five All-IFL selections and winning consecutive IFL defensive player of the year honors in 2013 and 2014.
Knight retires with 799 career tackles, 29 sacks, nine interceptions, eight defensive touchdowns and a franchise record 24 blocked kicks.
Knight, 33, became a fan favorite over the years for his versatile play, hard hits and pregame entrance, when he donned a Superman cape as he emerged from the tunnel at the Arena and Denny Sanford Premier Center.
