Kevin Knox - Tampa Catholic Forward - Interview

July 21, 2018
Kevin Knox transitioned from football to become one of the most recruited basketball players in the country at Tampa Catholic.

Kevin Knox Jr. once planned to follow his NFL father into football. Making the USA Basketball U16 team changed everything. The gold medal performance convinced him to focus on basketball full-time.

At 6-foot-8 with guard skills, Knox draws Kevin Durant comparisons. His ability to score from anywhere on the floor attracted Duke, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Florida State. Tampa Catholic may have produced its best basketball prospect ever.
