Teddy Knox is a cornerback for South Methodist University (SMU). He's best known for his friendship with Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Rashee Rice. Knox was a four-star recruit from Woodlands High School.
Knox was ranked as part of ESPN's Top 300 and among the top 50 players in Texas by all relevant ranking sites heading into college. The versatile cornerback was also a decent track star, winning silver medals in the 100m and 200m at the 2019 Louisiana 1A-2A state meet.
Knox accepted a scholarship offer from Mississippi State and joined them before the 2021 college football season. However, he redshirted after only featuring in three games and returning one kick return for 31 yards.
