Knittle holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Management, Entrepreneurship, and Business Administration from Harrisburg University of Science and Technology where he received a full athletic scholarship in recognition of his exceptional dedication and outstanding performance in Overwatch esports. Knittle was a three-year member of the university’s Overwatch team which won consecutive national championship titles in 2019 and 2020, triumphing over 600 other competing teams. 

“We believe that Jason possesses the skill, ability and experience to move Wilson College esports forward in great ways,” said Katherine Buck, vice president for student development. “We look forward to welcoming Jason to campus, where he will hit the ground running; coaching, recruiting, and managing the entire esports program.”

Wilson College’s esports teams compete in the Eastern College Athletics Conference (ECAC) in the following games: Overwatch, League of Legends, Rocket League, Hearthstone, FIFA 22, Madden 22, Halo Infinite, and Valorant.
