Highly-ranked receiver puts Hogs in top three

Trey Knox was delayed in his official visit to Fayetteville on Friday, but it didn’t diminish his attraction to Arkansas, according to multiple reports.

“It went really well,” Knox said to multiple recruiting sites. “With the flight, I missed a couple of things on Friday, but overall it was a great trip. They’re really in my top three, easily. I’ll be back again, most definitely.

“Definitely hanging around my boy (Jonathan) Nance and really just getting to know what the players are all about at the University of Arkansas (were the highlights). Getting around Coach (Justin) Stepp, Coach (Joe) Craddock and Coach (Chad) Morris a lot, eating out with them — we felt like family. They kept it real with me. That’s how they always are, just laid back. I really like that.”

Knox, a 4-star receiver from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, Blackman has Arkansas in his top three along with Ohio State and Alabama.

Knox got his first look at the Razorbacks during an unofficial visit on February 25, but said this weekend’s trip allowed him more time to hang out with the Hogs’ coaches and players.

Knox believes he fits what the Razorbacks are looking for at the wide receiver position in this year’s class.

“Definitely my route-running and my big body (6-5, 215),” he said. “I know how to use my body, and definitely my versatility. I can go anywhere on the field. They like to move receivers around, so the ability to play multiple spots would help the team.”

Knox said a couple of other schools stick out in addition to Arkansas, and that he’ll make a decision “whenever it feels right.”
