The Camden, N.J., native is listed as a 3-star wide receiver according to 247Sports but is also listed as a defensive end and tight end. He told Rivals.com that he could either play linebacker or defensive end or offense in college. At 6-foot-4, 200-pounds, King is the 44th best player in the state, and had offers from a number of schools including Purdue, Houston, North Carolina State, UCF and others.

The Scarlet Knights class moved up a spot to 45th nationally and remained at 10th in the Big Ten.

On Friday, coach Chris Ash added defensive end/tight end Matthew Thomas.
