High school football star Noah Knigga: This is how you actually say my last name.
Indiana high school sports star Noah Knigga went viral over the last few weeks, but it wasn’t for his athletic abilities on the basketball court or football field.
The Lawrenceburg High School athlete was the talk of social media because of his unusual last name.
While other football players like Rowdy Beers have gone viral because of their unique names, many wondered how they were going to pronounce the aspiring college athlete’s last name.
Former NFL star Robert Griffin III was on the case.
He interviewed Knigga and his family to get the 411 on how his last name is pronounced.
He said it’s pronounced “Ka-nay-guh.”
“For some people it might ruin the name, I don’t think it ruins the name at all,” Griffin said. “I think you should get a couple T-shirts that say ‘Knigga Please.’ I think it would be hilarious.”
