Niles King brings proven pass-rush production and size to SDSU's front seven
Niles King is a 6-foot-6, 260-pound senior edge defender who arrived at San Diego State after a highly productive run at Grand Valley State, where he posted 20 career sacks and 27 tackles for loss; in 2025, he was already showing impact production for the Aztecs with 29 tackles, 6.5 sacks and 9.5 tackles for loss, and EA Sports rated him a 76 overall with strong power-move and pursuit grades. He stands out as a fast-twitch pass rusher with proven disruption skills and the kind of length and motor that can translate well to a bigger-stage defense.
