Knox Kiffin turned heads at SMU Dallas Showcase
Knox has already made a name for himself in the football circuit and it's not mainly because he is Lane Kiffin's son, but on his own accord.
The high-school QB turned heads at the SMU Dallas Showcase in June, where he displayed his talent. At only 5-foot-10 and 170 pounds, Knox’s performance at the showcase didn’t go unnoticed. He announced on Instagram that he’s received his second college offer, this time from the SMU Mustangs.
After a positive camp outing and a conversation with Mustangs coach D’Eriq King, Knox earned the offer.
Knox comes from a football dynasty, with his father Lane Kiffin and grandfather Monte Kiffin former football professionals.
