King said his decision is what’s best for himself as a player and as a student, in a statement released after the news broke,
“After carefully thinking through this process with my family and coach Holgorsen,” King said. “I have decided the opportunity to redshirt this season gives me the best chance to develop as a player, earn my degree and set me up for the best success in the future.
