Quick interview with Arizona Class of 2016 QB Cade Knox

Written by Ryan Wright

Brophy College Preparatory quarterback Cade Knox exploded onto the recruiting scene in 2014. The 6’4”, 205 pound, dual-threat passed for over 2,300 yards with 24 touchdowns and ran for over 400 yards with another three scores leading his team to a 10-4 record.

Knox is returning to Brophy for his senior year with a loaded team around him and an Arizona state championship run in mind, and he could very well deliver.

We quizzed Cade on all things football previously but wanted to find out more about the man who throws darts on the field off his back foot like it’s nothing. We put Cade through our ongoing Recruiting News Guru “getting to know you” Q&A to see what he’s like off the field.
