First-year East Carolina head football coach Scottie Montgomery announced the hiring of Antonio King as the Pirates’ running backs coach on Friday.
The appointment at ECU comes after a decorated prep coaching career for King, who guided Durham Hillside High School to a run of six straight PAC-6 titles and the 2010 4-A state championship with a perfect 16-0 record.
He also captured PAC-6 coach of the year honors in 2010 through 2015, and earned Durham Herald-Sun top coaching accolades twice.
“Antonio’s history developing student-athletes and leading young men is unparalleled,” Montgomery said. “His ability to communicate, encourage and motivate is well documented through the success of all the players he’s touched.
