In contrast, Rivals has King ranked as the sixth-best prospect out of Michigan. In addition, as the 10th ranked corner in the 2021 class. King committed to the Nittany Lions on April 10th and had offers from 10 other Big Ten schools. Included in that list were both Michigan and Michigan State. Cass Technical is 40 minutes from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor and a little over an hour from Michigan State in East Lansing.
The four-star cornerback is five-foot-eleven-inches and 170 pounds. He has a 34.40-inch verticle taken at the Opening Regional in March 2019. So that very well could have gotten even better over time. He also recorded a 3.95 shuttle at the Opening Regional as well. His ability for quick directional change is important at the corner position. King will join a young secondary for the Nittany Lions. This will give him plenty of chances to grow into a strong player.
