A multi-sport athlete at Bishop Hartley, King stepped in and made an impact on the gridiron and hardwood during his first year with the Hawks as a sophomore. This season could be King’s breakout season as the opportunity will be there for him to create offense for himself and lead a program that’s been at the top of the Columbus Catholic League. King has also gotten plenty of time adjusting to Head Coach Andreas James expectations as King played for him during the grassroots season for a 16 U Nova Village and provided impact on the glass and defensively. If King can make a jump as a perimeter shooter he could continue to rise up these rankings.

A bit of a sleeper prospect in central Ohio’s 2028 class, King transferred from Worthington Christian to Bishop Hartley this season and played a complimentary role for the Hawks. I liked King’s long wingspan, ability to score as a slasher and motor. With a frame that should continue to add muscle as he matures, King is a prime breakout candidate this summer for both Hartley and Nova Village 16 U.

King made a solid two-way impact for his team, with a couple of steals and blocks to help jumpstart fast break opportunities for his team. When he wasn’t involved in the defensive action, King was found running the floor and scored himself on a handful of transition opportunities. His strong frame and quickness allows him to get behind the defense and score effectively at the rim. Name to know in central Ohio’s 2028 class, King already has started to make his mark at the varsity level.
