Tennessee has shown him some love but apparently not alot. Supposedly some grade issues could come up with him as well.

I was at a scrimmage last summer and Nick Saban was talking to his mother for almost an hour. He is a good player but not fit for Tennessee. He lacks heart.

lacks heart? he has a ton of tackles for a guy that lacks heart.

If you know alot about football then you know that stats are not lways what they truly are. Now just because I said he lacks heart doesn't mean he can't tackle.Let me just say with King " When the going got tough, King never got going " There are several of instances that I can recall but the one that sticks out was when the big back from Henry County couldn't be stopped, Melrose called on King to step up and he tucked his head and laid down.

That big back is coming to Tennessee so he won't have to worry about tackling him in college if he comes here

King is getting plenty of pressure to join UM from teammate and Cane signee Antonio Harper as well as former Melrose star and current Hurricane Graig Cooper.

"Everyone knows Miami is the place everybody wants to go to," King said. "They say it's a great city you'd love to visit. They said it would be a good experience for me to just come and take a visit first and then decide what I want to do. It's a fun city right there, that's what they tell me."

says UT and the U are his top 2

Hubbs also mentions that Tennessee has stepped up their recruitment of King.

BY S Robertson. King says likes Alabama a lot right now; but that he will take all his visits this fall before he makes a choice. He mentions LSU, Tennesee, Miami, Oklahoma, Alabama, Ole Miss, Memphis, North Carolina and Mississippi State as schools he is focused on.
