A member of the football team who played from 1968-70, King was a defensive back on Red Parker-coached teams ... an all-Southern Conference first-team member who also earned honorable mention All-America honors in 1970, King called the defensive coverage for the backfield ... the native of Raleigh, NC led the 1969 team with six interceptions that tied a then-school record, and continues to be in a five-way tie for the school mark with three picks in a single game (vs. VMI in 1970).
