Kansas State Beats Out Nebraska For Three-Star Safety
"Stood 10 toes, never blinked."
Noah King wrote these words on his X page Monday afternoon when he announced he committed to play football at Kansas State.
King, a three-star safety from Fairfield, Ohio, picked K-State over Nebraska, West Virginia and Kentucky. He is the third defensive back the Wildcats have received commitments from, joining Dominic Mitchell and RJ Collins.
At 6-foot-2, 195-pounds, King is considered to be rising in the recruiting world because of his ability to tackle and cover. By the time he completes his senior season in high school, he could be bumped to four stars.
