Declares for draft
Personal
December 21, 2020
Knox announced Monday via his personal Twitter account that he will forgo his remaining eligibility at Marshall to enter the 2021 NFL Draft.
ANALYSIS
In order to avoid a potential injury as he looks to begin his professional career, Knox will be sitting out Friday in Marshall's Camellia Bowl matchup with Buffalo. He turned in a strong junior season for the Thundering Herd, compiling 887 yards on the ground while finding the end zone 10 times. Sheldon Evans and Knowledge McDaniel are next up for carries out of the Marshall backfield.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2019
Knox was a true workhorse in his redshirt sophomore campaign, carrying the ball a whopping 270 times over 13 games. This largely paid off, as he finished with 1,387 rushing yards and 11 rushing touchdowns. Marshall had problems at quarterback, with Isaiah Green regressing and only completing 15 touchdown passes against 11 interceptions. Green may be back as the starter, which could mean an offense that relies on Knox again. He’s only entering his junior season, and he played sparingly as a redshirt freshman, so there should still be tread left on his tires. Knox has the makings of being a workhorse once more for the Thundering Herd.
Knox flourished down the stretch as a freshman, averaging 115 yards over his last five games and posting four touchdowns in that span. He enters this season as the favorite to start over Tyler King, who is talented but has had durability issues and at 6-foot and 190 pounds, is not built to be a true workhorse like the 223-pound Knox. Marshall tends to rotate several running backs when possible, but the current depth points to Knox taking on most of the carries while King plays a change-of-pace role. Knox will be a problem for Conference USA defenses all season.
