Landon King '17 Recruiting Profile

My name is Landon King.  I am 6'1" and weigh 220 lbs.  I am an OLB at Pineville High School in Pineville, LA.  I previously played RB/FB for the Rebels.  At my coach's request, I transitioned from offense to defense during my senior year to help strengthen the team.  I've been a varsity player since my freshman year and a starting player since my sophomore year.  Although my high school career has consisted mainly of playing offense, I must admit that I enjoy playing defense as well.  I played both sides of the field throughout my little league and middle school years.  Playing football is my passion.  However, I strive to be a leader on and off the field. I'm an active member of Student Council and the National Honor Society.

I look forward to attending college not only to show off my talents on the field, but also to obtain a quality education that will prepare me for the job market and the journey ahead.  I have challenged myself academically by taking Pre-AP classes to prepare for college courses.  I pride myself on being able to maintain a healthy balance between family, school, and sports.  I accredit this balance to my spiritual walk with God.

My mindset separates me from other athletes.  I am focused, determined, and committed to being the best student, athlete, and member of society that I can be.  I am confident in my abilities to excel in the classroom and on the football field.  I am disciplined and driven by my passion to succeed in life.  My versatility, competitiveness, and aggressiveness are sure to be an asset to the "right" football program.
