| Biography: |
| Dropping back to throw the ball against Northwestern’s defense might not be the safest thing to do this season. Dustin Forston, a first team All-State defensive end from last season, is on one side and King’s on the other. They both use tremendously quick first steps to get upfield and disrupt opposing offenses. King had 18 quarterback sacks last season and hopes to get even more this year. Athletically, he’s what you want in a linebacker. He runs well, closes exceptionally well, changes direction fluidly, and chases. His motor never stops running. King also competes on Northwestern’s track team and finished seventh in the state in the shot put event, tossing it 50-6. Imagine that – a kid who weighed under 200 at the time legitimately throwing it more than 50 feet. King’s the real deal. The only reason he’s not rated higher is because of questions that come up as to whether or not he’ll be able to successfully make the transition from defensive end to linebacker in college. Otherwise, he’s the real deal and then some. |
