WARR ACRES – Putnam City senior Brayden Knox signed with Division I North Texas Wednesday (Dec. 4).

Knox had nearly 250 tackles in his career, 40 of those for a loss and 24 sacks. He also average 5.2 yards a carry as a running back on offense.

Knox was rated as a three star recruit by ESPN.

“Has a great frame to be a really dynamic edge rusher,” North Texas head coach Eric Morris told 247Sports. “I think his body type and explosiveness will give us the ability to get him a good look next year. I think he’s big enough and strong enough to be able to compete earlier than later.”

Knox was originally committed to Tulsa.

The Mean Green finished the regular season at 6-6 (3-5 in the American Athletic Conference).
