Career

Collegiate

Knox began his collegiate career at Wake Forest University, starting 19 of 25 games and tallying one assist in his freshman season. [2] He then transferred to UCLA, scoring his first collegiate goal as part of a brace against Oregon State. [3] At the end of his junior season, Knox was named amongst the honorable mentions to the Pac-12 All-Academic Team. [4]

Professional

After his collegiate career came to a close, Knox funded a trip to Italy, where he was set to meet with Serie A scouts in hopes of being offered a contract. However, Knox arrived shortly before the COVID-19 pandemic began to emerge in the country, forcing him back to the United States without an offer from a professional outfit. [5] However, Knox would kickstart his professional career in early 2021, reuniting with former youth coach John Galas at FC Tucson. [6] He made his debut for the club on May 16, 2021, coming on as a 78th-minute substitute for Deri Corfe in a 5-1 defeat to Fort Lauderdale. [7]
