Penn State cornerback Kalen King wasted no time in creating an impact within the football program. The highly-=rated recruit intercepted a pass and returned it for a touchdown in his first spring game with the Nittany Lions, and he was quickly on his way to living up to the hype out of high school. And playing in the same defensive backfield that produced multiple NFL draft picks like Jaquan Brisker, Ji’Ayir Brown, and Joeuy Porter Jr. put King in line to uphold that tradition of excellence.
King may have seen his NFL draft outlook take a hit at a tough time on his path to the pros, but he is still expected to hear his name called at some point during the upcoming NFL draft. And while he may not end up being the first-round pick he was once projected to be, but he will definitely be heading to the NFL with a bit of a chip on his shoulder with something to prove.
Here is a look at some of the bets photos of Kalen King on his journey from being a star on the high school football fields in Michigan to making big plays in the Rose Bowl with Penn State.
