Kalen King is a true freshman that impressed so much that Penn State Football burned his redshirt.

King played 11 games this season and earned more reps as the season progressed. His best game was against Michigan State, in which he logged five tackles and a pass breakup.

We even saw King rotating with Joey Porter Jr. toward the end of the season.

The young corner will be a star for Penn State in the coming years. Arkansas is a balanced team without their top wide receiver. There’s no reason for King not to be a big part of this game.
