The first thing to notice is that King’s highlight video says that he runs a verified 10.21 100m and a 20.74 200m and that he’s the fastest player in the nation. The only stats listed in his 24/7 Sports profile is 20 receptions for 203 yards and a touchdown for 2020, which ended up being just 5 games.
King is an obvious track guy, so the question is if the speed translates to the field, and yes, I can confirm that King is fast to quite fast. like a lot of sprinters, the speed is effortless, like he’s not moving that fast, but he’s out-running everyone. I’ve also been thinking that Texas Tech has very much gone after very big receivers, other that Myles Price, and sometimes you need a guy that’s going to break the top, your very own Tyreek Hill, and maybe this is the staff trying to build a receiving corps that can do a few different things and receivers that beat you in different ways.
