Lane Knost enters his first season as wide receivers coach and special teams coordinator for the Muskingum football program.
Knost arrives in New Concord after six seasons as an assistant coach at Limestone College. After serving as the tight ends coach in 2016 and the outside linebackers coach in 2017, he took over the wide receivers corps during the 2018 campaign while adding special teams coordinator and recruiting coordinator to his list of responsibilities.
Knost helped guide the third-ranked passing attack in the South Atlantic Conference during 2019. Limestone had two receivers, Juwan Scott and Quay Brown, enjoy breakout seasons as the duo ranked in the league’s top-10 in yardage and touchdown receptions.
In his first year mentoring the wide receivers group in 2018, the Saints combined to haul in 187 catches for 2,198 yards and 11 touchdowns. Knost was particularly involved in developing Cody Rau, an All-South Athlantic Conference selection, who after his senior season posted 47 catches for 700 yards and eight scores, which led him to be Limestones Offensive MVP.
In 2016, he coached a tight end corps that combined for 21 receptions, 226 yards, and a TD before moving to the defensive side of the ball in 2017. As the linebackers coach, he mentored Evan Patrick, a Second-Team All-SAC selection, and Joey Felder, an AstroTurf SAC Defensive Player of the Week. The duo combined for 126 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and four sacks.
Knost joined the Limestone staff after serving as the tight ends coach at Marietta College. He mentored the top tight end unit in the conference during his lone season with the Pioneers as the group combined for 27 catches, 310 yards, and two touchdowns.
A four-year standout and team captain while at Kentucky Christian, Knost earned USA College Football NAIA All-American honors as a senior in 2014 and was invited to play in the USA College Football Bowl.

After his college career, Knost was selected and named team captain for the United States National Team in the FISU World University Championship in Monterrey Mexico.
