Arkansas Football: 5 signees who’ll have instant impact in 2019

Last, but certainly not least, Trey Knox is the kind of player who could hit the field instantly and have an impact. He’s an early enrollee, which gives him an advantage of a guy like Treylon Burks who won’t get to campus until the summer/fall, and he’s a red-zone nightmare for defenses.

You won’t see many receivers standing 6-foot-5 in the incoming freshman class, but Knox has that size and weighs in at 215 pounds. He has the look of a possession receiver and he could be that type of receiver that will get you the first down when you need it, but also wins those 50-50 balls down the field.

Knox is listed as the No. 228 overall prospect and 34th-best receiver in the 2019 class and is Arkansas’ highest-rated early enrollee. There’s a good chance he could be in that starting group by the time spring ball rolls around, or slightly after.

Getting the playbook down would be a fantastic start as it’s usually the biggest adjustment for incoming skill players.

Keep an eye on Knox as well as Burks as these two could be the future of Arkansas and will help out the quarterback position tremendously.
