Jalen Knox – Noteworthy
OCT 22 SEC FRESHMAN OF THE WEEK: Jalen Knox, WR, Missouri…Caught 5 passes for 104 yards and a touchdown to help spark Mizzou to a 65-33 win over Memphis which broke a three-game losing streak for the Tigers…Touchdown came on a 44-yarder in the 2nd quarter that extended Mizzou’s lead from 27-17 to 34-17, and gave the Tigers some breathing room after Memphis had minutes earlier closed to 21-17…This marked his second 100-yard receiving game of the season, adding to his 110-yard, one-touchdown game earlier in the year at Purdue…Knox is second in the SEC, and fifth nationally among all freshmen with his 384 receiving yards through games of Oct. 20th. He has 20 receptions in all for 384 yards and 3 scores…Knox is performing at a high level with added pressure on him, as he’s been forced into the number-one receiver role, due to injuries to senior starters Emanuel Hall and Nate Brown which have kept them out for the past three games. – SEC Football
