King has been a tremendous four year player and is a disruptor. He is good off the line, shows good physicality and is a player that has good bend and can use that in conjunction with his power to win. He’ll need to bring pressure early, and often if Timpanogos is to stop Salem Hills.

Read EvaluationAndy Pham | Prep Redzone Scout
King is a tremendous EDGE rusher with an exceptional motor and finishes his pursuit more often than not. He shows excellent strength with good speed and a finishing burst. He mixes bull rushes with good swim moves and other packages to get by his blocker. King oftentimes gets chipped and has additional players on him to prevent his disruption into the secondary but finds ways to impact a down. King is a pure pass rusher who reads the play from the start, when he can’t get to the Quarterback, he showcases active hands to breakup passes, gets into passing lanes, and finds multiple ways to help out on defense. He isn’t a player who will just crash the edge to make a play, he’ll stay in his gap and play team defense and is helpful in the pursuit of the run because of this, he keeps his gap assignment intact and will keep his head up and find the ball carrier and make a play.
