You need to turn your feet out more and, possibly, widen your stance. Get more bent over sooner and keep your knees from traveling so far forward.

Not a bad start at all. I'd widen your stance 1-2" and cut the forward travel of the knees by about the same. You'll be a little bit less vertical, and that's a good thing. Keep focusing on driving up with the hips.

Quick work, Jeff.

Thank you both.. Are there any good cues you recommend to prevent excessive knee travel?

I like "Imaginary TUBOW" unless that doesn't work, then I am liberal with the use of a real TUBOW.

I'll definitely give that a shot... I knew going in forward knee travel was probably going to be my biggest problem.. I've always been quad reliant on squats in the past
