Entering Tuesday night’s game against No. 23 Kansas, Knell was one point shy of reaching 1,000 career points. He reached that mark with the game’s opening points by knocking down a three to give BYU an early lead.
Trevin Knell reaches 1,000 career points
Knell is the 54th player in BYU basketball history to reach 1,000 career points. He’s the second active player on this year’s team to be on the list, joining fellow senior Fousseyni Traore.
The 6-foot-5 graduate has a career scoring average of 7.2 points per game in five playing seasons at BYU.
This season, Knell is averaging 9.2 points while shooting a career-best 47.4% from the field and knocking down 42% of his three-point attempts.
Knell began his BYU career in 2019-20 after serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Uruguay.
During his time at BYU, Knell has become one of the top three-point shooters in program history.
His three-point make against Kansas was the 215th made three of his BYU career. That put him in a tie for fifth all-time with Chase Fischer for most threes in a BYU career. Jimmer Fredette is No. 1 all-time with 296.
Moments later, Knell hit another three to give BYU an 11-5 lead over Kansas, which put him in sole possession of fifth place for threes.
Knell will need another 14 threes to reach the No. 4 spot on BYU’s career leaders list. That spot is occupied by Fredette’s backcourt running mate at BYU, Jackson Emery who hit 230 threes in his BYU career.
