In August of 2014 Nigel King transferred into the Kansas football program. Five months later? He gone.
Friday, the wide receiver confirmed to both the Lawrence Journal-World and the Topeka Capital-Journal that he’s decided to forego his remaining two years of eligibility. King, who’s already graduated, is hopeful of getting an invitation to the NFL Scouting Combine in February based off how he closed out his lone season with the Jayhawks.
“I didn’t start the season off as strong as I wanted,” King told the Journal-World. “But I felt good about the way I finished and it just came down to me feeling like I was ready for it and knowing in my heart that this is what I want to do.”
King transferred to KU from Maryland less than a month before the start of the 2014 season. He was second on the team with 537 receiving yards and No. 3 in receptions with 30, although he was No. 1 on the highlight real.
