MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – After spending his freshman season competing for Ben Howland's Mississippi State squad, former Bulldog Elias King is headed to Murfreesboro as he signed his grant-in-aid Wednesday to officially join Head Coach Nick McDevitt and the Blue Raiders.
The 6-foot-8, 205 pound guard has a promising skillset and long, athletic build that garnered a lot of attention out of high school.
An Atlanta native, King was a consensus 4-star prospect who was ranked No. 5 in the state and No. 34 in the southeast per ESPN.com. Lindy's Magazine pegged King as a Top 125 high school recruit in the nation in the 2019 signing class.
