CJ Marable

Prep Redzone Scout

Jimmy King Jimmy King 6'0" | 210 lbs | ATH Sidney Lanier | 2026 State AL possesses a natural talent for reading defenses and finding gaps in the line of scrimmage. His patience as a runner allows him to wait for blocks to develop, and when they do, he accelerates quickly through the line. King’s low center of gravity and balance make it difficult for defenders to bring him down, even after contact. He shows excellent field awareness, knowing when to switch gears or cut back for additional yardage. As he continues to grow in his game, King will be a key player to watch in future seasons.

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

is a versatile athlete out of Sidney Lanier that has made a ton of impacts for both their offense and defense at outside linebacker and running back. On offense, King utilizes his vision, speed, and acceleration to make a ton of explosive plays. King has the athleticism to both shed tackles and make defenders miss as well, in the open field he can cause a ton of issues for defenses with how easy it is for him to break off big plays. When he’s on defense, King is a destructive linebacker that does a great job playing against the run. King plays with a ton of speed and agility and is able to make plays all around the field, regardless of where he is pre snap. Last fall, King had himself a huge season where he recorded 106 carries for 901 yards and 6 touchdowns on offense and 95 total tackles (3 for loss, 75 solo) on defense as well. Recently, King picked up an offer from Alabama State- with how well he’s been playing expect to see him pick up some more!
