Eric King brings Wake Forest a long-tenured, versatile veteran in the secondary
Eric King is a veteran defensive back who spent multiple seasons at Wake Forest, giving the Demon Deacons experience, depth, and a steady presence in the secondary. As a corner, his appeal is less about eye-popping box-score stats and more about reliability, route recognition, and understanding leverage—traits that tend to matter a lot in ACC pass defense. He looks like a fit for a team that values discipline, maturity, and a player who can compete for snaps without needing a long developmental runway.
