Cameron Knox brings compact, physical safety play to Southern Miss
Cameron Knox is a redshirt junior safety for Southern Miss in 2026, listed at 5-8 and 190 pounds, and he profiles as a tough, undersized defender who has earned his way from a strong high-school résumé into the Golden Eagles’ secondary[1]. In the 2024 season, he played in four games and recorded 4 total tackles, while his longer track record shows limited but steady production with 9 solo tackles and 8 assists across his Southern Miss career[2][6]. His edge is effort and versatility — he was a two-way high school standout, a kickoff return threat, and an all-state defender, which hints at the competitive, high-motor style coaches tend to love[3].
