This predicament inspired us to start a blog series on newcomers for the 2020 season. This is not limited to the 2020 recruiting class but will cover all Aggies we have yet to see suit up. Please enjoy the third installment of this 9-part series!

Eligibility and Fit

• Two full years of eligibility who also redshirted the 2019 season.

• Pure speculation but expect King to split time with Clayton Henry and Marcus Watson on the wing.
