  Trey Knox has a humorous anecdote to explain the difference playing his old position, wide receiver, and tight end, where he will potentially be a starter this fall for Arkansas. "Playing outside receiver, on fourth-and-1 you're most likely going to run the ball, and when the ball is snapped you can just turn and watch the play. You can turn and look inside and see if we got it or not," Knox said. "As a tight end, you're involved in that play more often than not. It's just getting there and getting set and really knowing that if I don't move this guy in front of me, we're not going to get the first down. It's just a different mindset. It's just the urgency of I have to get this done and I have to get it right now."

At 6-5, Knox had always been thought of as a potential tight end, but he delayed the position move for as long as he could to hold on to the ability to play wide receiver. But after a 2020 season when his production dropped significantly and a 2021 season opener against Rice when he went without a catch, Knox approached Razorbacks coach Sam Pittman about making the change. "Coach Pittman was telling me that I block my heart out when there's run plays called," Knox said. "I said I can go play tight end and do the same thing. I'm going to get the job done. I might not look the part, I might not be the size, it might not look prettiest, but the job will get done. "I think he understood that and felt that was the best thing to do." - Northwest Arkansas Times
