The outlook for Trey’s father is positive as he continues to get back his motor functions.
EAGAN — Last Saturday afternoon, Trey Knox kept getting the football. JJ McCarthy checked down to him, then found him over the middle, then hit him on an out-breaking route. Catch, catch, catch. The rookie tight end seemed to make the most of his biggest opportunity in practice yet with two experienced players Robert Tonyan and N’Keal Harry out due to injury.
“It’s just hard seeing a person and knowing who they were and then them being completely different,” Trey toldThe 6-foot-3, 240-pound tight end transferred to South Carolina for his final year of college in 2023 and caught 37 passes, putting his name on the map as a potential draft pick or priority free agent. In the run up to his first NFL camp, Knox spent three weeks in Tennessee working out with other tight ends, including Hockenson and George Kittle.
When Trey was five years old, his dad got him right out on the football field with the Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders. William coached Trey from ages 5-10. He bounced back and forth between running back and offensive line depending on the age bracket. Sometimes he was too big to be a ball carrier, sometimes he was the best ball carrier. It wasn’t too long before it was clear that the coach’s kid was pretty good.
“He instilled the work ethic because he was hard-working man himself,” Trey said. “He put my needs above himself. I never had to work a job in high school.”
