Fred King brings size, efficient scoring, and elite rim protection to Murray State
In the 2025-26 season, Fred King emerged as a high-impact two-way center for Murray State, posting 13.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, and 2.1 blocks per game while shooting 64.8% from the field.[1][2] He was also named Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week in February 2026 and earned NABC All-District Second Team honors, which backs up the eye test: he finishes efficiently, controls the glass, and changes shots at the rim.[2][3] At 6-foot-9 and 267 pounds, he looks like a ready-made paint anchor and a strong fit for teams needing interior physicality, maturity, and steady production.[1][3]
