The 6-foot-4, 205-pound King left Wisconsin in January, citing frustration with Badgers coach Greg Gard. King, a La Crosse, Wisconsin, native, is a former Mr. Basketball in the state who was averaging 10 points per game for the Badgers when he left the team.
It is expected NU will submit a waiver for King to get immediate eligibility starting next season, which would give him two seasons to play in Lincoln.
King's addition means Nebraska has filled its allotted amount of scholarships for 2020, though attrition could open up more spots after the season.
