Florida International University linebacker Luke Knox has died at 22.
Luke Knox transferred to FIU ahead of 2022 college football season.
“We are saddened by the sudden passing of Luke Knox, a member of the FIU soccer program,” the university wrote.

Death
“Our hearts go out to Dawson and his family during this time. We are there with him and supporting him and his family, and just tragic news that I woke up to this morning,” McDermott said.
Just weeks before his death, Knox shared a series of photos from his trip to Miami with his FIU teammates and loved ones.
“Live in Miami and play a little ball?! Yes, we’ll take that,” the young stud wrote.
“Thank you, Lord, for blessing me. You always know what is best! First month in Miami. (Speaks Spanish quite fluently now).”
The films included Knox’s fishing adventure on a Florida lake and several shots of him and his teammates enjoying the Miami nightlife. Originally from Brentwood, Tennessee, Knox transferred to FIU ahead of the 2022 college football season after spending his first four college seasons at the University of Mississippi.
FIU head coach Mike MacIntyre, who previously coached Knox as a defensive coordinator at Ole Miss, said in a statement Wednesday that he was heartbroken by the young star’s death.
