Ian King brings undersized, high-IQ depth to South Dakota Mines' secondary
Ian King is a junior defensive back for South Dakota Mines, listed at 6'0" and either 155 or 180 pounds depending on the roster source, which suggests a lean, rangy frame that can fit in coverage-heavy packages[1][4]. His prep résumé at Des Moines Hoover included team captain, team MVP, all-conference, and academic all-state honors, a nice little combo platter of leadership, production, and discipline[2]. The hard part: public stat detail is thin, so the best read is that he profiles as a smart, dependable defensive back who may appeal to teams valuing toughness, coaching, and upside rather than pure measurables[1][2][14].
