Fall Player Spotlights: Jordan Knox


Scott Hood
OK/MO/KS/ARK Assistant Scouting Director

This Fall PBR Arkansas is highlighting a couple of the top uncommitted prospects from the 2023 class to a handful of talented 2025's.  Today we take a look at the athletic 2023 outfielder from Bryant HS Jordan Knox.  The separator skill for Knox is his blazing speed that has been run in the past in the mid 6's offering him some game changing speed to wreak havoc on the bases as well as cover a ton of ground in the outfield.  Knox has a simple swing with a level path that translates to line drives and a controlled barrel.  Knox offers that game changing athleticism and should be able to find a contributing role at the next level.
