Trey Knox always had the hands and, at 6-foot-5, the height to be a dynamic pass-catcher.
On Saturday against BYU, with Arkansas trailing in the second quarter by a touchdown, the wide-receiver-turned-tight-end lifted himself off the ground to catch a high pass from KJ Jefferson for a score that would provide Arkansas the lead.
Knox, who had six catches for 75 yards and two touchdowns in Arkansas’ opener against Cincinnati, had just six catches for 73 yards and no scores in the five games since.
Jefferson went just 4 of 9 passing on Arkansas’ first three drives, but went 5 for 5 on the fourth. His pass to Knox was from six yards and his 10th touchdown pass of the year.
