Hazen's Luke King a promising 2023 prospect
Hazen quarterback Luke King played like an upperclassman, not a freshman while leading the Hornets to a 10-2 record and the Class 2A quarterfinals in 2019.
Coach Joe Besancon met with King and his parents before the season about the unusual move of him playing as a freshman. The Hornets wanted to be able to showcase Blayne Toll, who had played quarterback the year before, as a tight end.
Toll is now a freshman at Arkansas.
“I knew I needed to move Blayne around a lot to help with the running game and I know he was capable doing the things we needed him to do,” Besancon said. “He did better than what I thought he would do.”
