Sad. Turns out his nephew lives in my neighborhood. A few years ago he found out I went to Nebraska, and he was really grateful that I still remember his uncle Tyreese. 

This bio is a little off: Knox didn't run 54 times for 242 yards in the Fiesta Bowl: that's the total team rushing. Knox had 65 yards on 16 carries fwiw.
