FB Recruiting Profile: Mitchell King from Deep River, CT

Recruit: Mitchell King from Deep River, CT Height: 6’5” Weight: 231 pounds High School: Valley Regional, Deep River Center, CT Position at Penn: TE

Recruited By: Duke, Penn, Columbia, Temple, Tulane

The Recruiting Moment: At breakfast during the recruiting trip, King and some other recruits were talking casually with offensive coordinators and it was all the things that he wanted to hear.

The Skinny: With 78 tackles and eight sacks on defense, Penn would have a good recruit on defense. On offense Penn has something better. A rivals two-star and 1st team All-State tight end, King is a receiving-first tight end who “likes to get out and spread things out.” He will need to improve his blocking, but getting stronger will help him out.

The Quote: “I want to establish myself as player who's going to work hard and be respected [by the team] for that.”
