player. Freshman. Trey Knox. 1. Scouting Report. Pick Analysis. WR. 844

I don’t think there was any doubt about the top performer for the Razorbacks in the spring game and one of the rising stars for the program this spring. Trey Knox looked like a future All-SEC wide receiver for Arkansas during the spring game and that just solidified what the coaching staff had been speaking off all offseason.

The former four-star recruit led all receivers with three catches for 57 yards, including a 45-yard catch and run touchdown which really highlighted the day.

Afterwards, Chad Morris had nothing but good things to say about his rising star.

"“Again, we’ve seen that,” Morris said. “That’s been consistent all spring. And that’s what’s probably been impressive about Trey. A lot of times freshmen get in there and they hit a wall. And Trey has really worked hard to get through that.”"

Not hitting a wall is a good thing for a young early enrollee and it shows that he has plenty of potential and has barely scratched the surface.

With Arkansas losing plenty of production at receiver from last year, Knox is the type of kid who could come in and become a star almost immediately.

This team is loading up with young talent and that’s an exciting prospect for fans as they try and move on from the 2-10 nightmare that was 2018.
