Brennan King brings a high-upside, multi-sport edge to Southern Illinois’ defensive line
King is a freshman defensive end at Southern Illinois with an appealing blend of length and power at 6-2, 235, and his high-school résumé suggests real pass-rush upside: 70 tackles, 22.5 sacks, 21 tackles for loss, and three forced fumbles in 2023, plus a background in wrestling and track that usually shows up in leverage and explosiveness. Southern Illinois also lists him as a Rivals three-star edge rusher, which supports the idea that he’s a developmental piece worth watching rather than just a roster body. If you want a young edge with upside, toughness, and room to grow, he fits the profile.
