Early life and high school career

Knox grew up in Tampa, Florida and initially attended Tampa Catholic High School. He averaged 19.8 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.2 blocks per game as a junior. Knox opted to leave Tampa Catholic to join the Overtime Elite league as a non-professional player for the RWE team in order to preserve his collegiate eligibility. The move was due to Florida's restrictions on NIL compensation. Knox was selected to play in the 2024 McDonald's All-American Boys Game.

Recruiting

Knox was considered a top-30 prospect in the 2024 class. He committed to play college basketball at Kentucky over offers from Louisville and South Florida. Knox later decommitted after it was reported that Kentucky head coach John Calipari would be leaving the program to become the head coach at Arkansas. He ultimately opted to follow Calipari and committed to play at Arkansas.

Personal life

Knox's father, Kevin Knox, played in the NFL as a wide receiver. His older brother, Kevin Knox II, was selected ninth overall by the New York Knicks in the 2018 NBA draft.
