Knox is a three-time state
champions. I’ve watched him develop from elementary
school. He’s got a work ethic that’s rare; he really
understands the sport and he loves it. It’s obvious when
you watch him wrestle. He was dominant in the state his
last three years of high school, winning state titles each
of them, and taking second in state as a freshman in a tough
weight class is nothing to sneeze at, either. He knocked heads and took home
a multitude of top places, both
locally and on the national level. He’s won a Greco-Roman
National Championship, and is a seven-time USA Wrestling
All-American. In 2004, at the USA Wrestling Cadet National
Duals, he went undefeated in Greco-Roman and lost one
decision in freestyle, while taking a silver medal at the
USA Wrestling Cadet National Championships with a
one-point loss in overtime in 2004. Knox is powerful
and explodes into every action. Even better, while all
that power and quickness is put into play, you can see the
gears turning, planning out the next three or four moves
in advance. Knox is most dangerous from his feet and a
serious finisher. He will be something else in the NCAA.
