Bio
The 5-foot-11, 203-pounder won the Jim Thorpe Award in 2015 as he displayed tremendous ball skills with eight interceptions (tied for second in the nation) and 13 passes broken up. King also had 72 tackles, a high number for a corner, and allowed just three touchdown passes in 2015. PFF charted King with just two missed tackles, out of 75 attempts in 2015.
Until King decided to return for his senior season, no winner of the Jim Thorpe Award, in its three decades of recognizing the nation's top defensive backs, had ever returned to play college football.
