Florida International linebacker Luke Knox, brother of Bills tight end Dawson Knox, has died, the program announced Thursday. He was 22 years old.
Knox began his college career as a linebacker at Ole Miss, redshirting in 2018 before playing in 12 games and recording 10 tackles in ’19. After just a few special teams appearances in ’20, Knox then moved to tight end for the ’21 season. Knox transferred to Florida International after the 2021 season and was set to return to the linebacker position.
Florida International head coach Mike MacIntyre, who also spent a year with Knox at Ole Miss, confirmed the news on Twitter.
