With kick-off to the 2023 football season still about two weeks away, Minot State’s returning All-American defensive back Knylen Miller-Levi already is claiming awards.

Friday, the senior from Las Vegas, Nevada who set a single-season Minot State record in 2022 with six interceptions, was named to the D2FOOTBALL.com 2023 Elite 100 Watch List.

The honor is the first time Miller-Levi has been named to the Elite 100 Watch List.

Minot State football kicks off the 2023 season on Thursday, Aug. 31, at 6 p.m. at home hosting Southwest Minnesota State at First Western Bank Field at Herb Parker Stadium.
