ANALYSIS
King struggled to connect with his receiver as he completed less than 50 percent of his passes and had three turnovers in this matchup. The redshirt sophomore showcased his versatility in the run game as he led the team with 150 rushing yards while also scoring on a 16-yard run. He will need to do a better job of protecting the ball in Saturday's game against the Tar Heels.

Throws four touchdowns in loss
King completed 23 of 37 passes for 348 yards, four touchdowns and two interceptions during Saturday's 38-27 loss versus Bowling Green. He also had 10 rushes for 28 yards.
ANALYSIS
This was one of King's best displays of the season, tying his highest passing touchdowns total (4) of the year for the second time. The redshirt sophomore did have two turnovers, which ultimately led to the Yellow Jackets' loss and will face a difficult challenge when they go on the road to face the Hurricanes.
Sep 18, 2023
Strong effort in loss
King was 28-for-41 passing for 307 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 48-23 loss against Mississippi. He also had 14 rushes for 42 yards with one touchdown.
ANALYSIS
The junior quarterback has continued to perform admirably, although the team's record may indicate otherwise. Across his first three starts with the Yellow Jackets, King has thrown nine touchdowns and one interception (with one rushing score) while eclipsing 300 yards on two occasions. The team's signal caller will look to continue his good form when they face Wake Forest during next week's matchup.
Sep 13, 2023
Efficient in victory
King completed 21 of 29 passes for 290 yards and four touchdowns during Saturday's 48-13 win versus South Carolina State.
ANALYSIS
King has now strung together two strong performances to start the season. While King was prolific passing the ball, he didn't add much value with his legs. The redshirt sophomore will face his toughest opponent to date in Saturday's contest against Ole Miss.
Sep 2, 2023
Solid in debut loss
King complete 19-or-32 passes for 313 yards with three touchdowns and three interceptions. King also added 10 carries for 53 yards in Friday's 39-34 loss to Louisville.
ANALYSIS
King had a solid day much of which came during a 28-point second quarter for the Yellow Jackets. Unfortunately he and Georgia Tech couldn't get much going and allowed Louisville to come back from a 28-13 halftime deficit.
Aug 22, 2023
Starting Week 1
King has been named Georgia Tech's starter for their season opener against Louisville on Sept. 1, Chad Bishop of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
ANALYSIS
King, who joined the Yellow Jackets after spending the last three years with Texas A&M, will open the season as the starter under center. The redshirt sophomore appeared in 10 games during his time with the Aggies, totaling 1,579 passing yards (128-of-226), 10 touchdowns and 10 interceptions. King, who beat out the incumbent Zach Pyron for the job, will look to establish himself in a fresh start with a new program.
Dec 18, 2022
Lands at Georgia Tech
King announced Sunday that he will be transferring to Georgia Tech, Max Olson of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
King will look to revive his career with the Yellow Jackets after he was benched in Week 2 of this season and was never able to get a grip back on the starting job. The Texas native is heading to a Georgia Tech team that has already lost two other quarterbacks to the portal, leaving King in a competition next fall with Zach Pyron (collarbone) and Zach Gibson.
Dec 2, 2022
Enters transfer portal
King has announced that he has entered the transfer portal, Tom VanHaaren of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
King has decided to leave Texas A&M after spending three seasons with the program. The sophomore quarterback appeared in 10 games during his time with the Aggies, logging 1,579 yards (128-of-226), nine touchdowns and 10 interceptions. King was a four-star recruit in the class of 2020, but he has struggled to establish himself at the collegiate level. Nevertheless, the sophomore quarterback is likely to draw attention from multiple power-five conference schools.
Nov 6, 2022
Satisfactory performance
King completed 23-of-45 passes for 279 yards and a touchdown Saturday against Florida.
ANALYSIS
King has four touchdowns and two picks in his last three contests. He has completed less than 55-percent of his passes in each of those games. An intriguing matchup looms at Auburn next weekend, though, as both programs have struggled mightily this season.
Nov 5, 2022
Expected to start Saturday
King is expected to start Saturday against Florida, 247 Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Conner Weigman is dealing with a case of the flu and was not cleared as of Friday, so the Aggies will have to turn back to King behind center. King has thrown for 941 yards with a 6:6 TD:INT and a 6.6 YPA in five games this season.
Oct 29, 2022
Not expected to start Saturday
King (shoulder) is not expected to be under center for Saturday's clash with Ole Miss, Texas A&M beat writer Mike Craven reports.
ANALYSIS
King has been bothered by a shoulder issue, though it's unclear if the injury is the culprit behind the change under center. In any event, freshman Conner Weigman is expected to get the nod Saturday after completing eight of his 15 attempts for 91 yards last week in relief of King.
Oct 24, 2022
Should suit up Saturday
Coach Jimbo Fisher said that King (shoulder) should be available for Saturday's game against Ole Miss, TexAgs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
King left last week's game against South Carolina with a shoulder injury. Conner Weigman came in early in the fourth quarter for relief. He could see some time again on Saturday if King takes another shot to the shoulder.
Oct 22, 2022
Exits game Saturday
King (shoulder) exited Saturday's showdown with South Carolina early in the fourth quarter, Adam Rittenberg of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
King sustained an apparent shoulder injury and has exited Saturday's game. The sophomore quarterback was 17-of-32 for 178 yards, one touchdown and one interception prior to exiting the contest. With Max Johnson also out, freshman Conner Weigman will look to propel the Aggies to victory down 21-24.
Oct 17, 2022
Good to go against Gamecocks
Coach Jimbo Fisher said that King (foot) will be good to go for Saturday's game against South Carolina, Brent Zwerneman of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
King suffered a foot injury in the loss to Alabama on Oct. 8. The bye week came at a good time for the Aggies starting quarterback to be able to get some extra time off to rest. King will be counted on to lead his team into South Carolina and put up some points.
Oct 8, 2022
Picks up foot injury in loss
Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher said that King hurt his foot during Saturday's 24-20 loss to Alabama, Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle reports.
ANALYSIS
King managed to play throughout the entirety of Saturday's down-to-the-wire loss, likely indicating that this unspecified injury should not limit him moving forward. The Aggies cannot afford many more injuries at the quarterback position after previous starter Max Johnson suffered what could be a season-ending fractured hand during last week's loss to Mississippi State. King will have two weeks to recover before Texas A&M's next game against South Carolina on Oct. 22, or else freshman Conner Weigman will be next in line for team's starting quarterback duties.
Oct 6, 2022
Promoted to starter
King will be Texas A&M's starting quarterback with Max Johnson out for the year (hand), Billy Liucci of TexAgs.comreports.
ANALYSIS
In three games this season, King has completed 39-of-64 passes for 510 yards, three touchdowns and four interceptions. The sophomore quarterback has also added 16 rushes for 66 yards and a touchdown on the ground. King was benched earlier in the year for Johnson due to his struggles, so it is possible five-star true freshman Conner Weigman could also see some time at quarterback.
Sep 16, 2022
Demoted to backup
King will be backing up Max Johnson in Saturday's meeting against Miami, Grant Gaspard of The Battalion reports.
ANALYSIS
King opened up fall camp in a quarterback battle with Max Johnson and ultimately edged out the latter for the starting job. King was inconsistent in the opener and then was an inefficient 13-of-20 for just 97 yards in the upset loss to Appalachian State in Week 2. Head coach Jimbo Fisher has apparently seen enough and will make a switch under center, with the hope that Johnson's experience at LSU will give them a better chance to be successful.
Sep 11, 2022
Dismal showing in stunning loss
King completed 13-of-20 passes for 97 yards against Appalachian State on Saturday, while also rushing eight times for 23 yards in the 17-14 loss.
ANALYSIS
King's second start of the season was a dud, as he failed to get anything going on offense versus what appeared to be a favorable matchup on paper. The Aggies will face a ranked Miami squad next weekend, so the task will not get any easier.
Sep 4, 2022
Three touchdowns in opener
King completed 20-of-31 passes for 364 yards, three touchdowns and two interceptions Saturday against Sam Houston State.
ANALYSIS
King's performance was a tad uneven given the level of opponent, as he missed some easy throws and tossed the two picks. Still, the turnovers did not come back to haunt him against inferior competition. A shootout looms next weekend against an Appalachian State team that lost 63-61 versus North Carolina in its season opener.
Aug 27, 2022
Wins starting gig at A&M
King was named the starter for Texas A&M on Saturday, Billy Liucci of TexAgs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
As Texas A&M prepares for the season opener, King has come out on top and will take over the offense. King won the job over Zach Calzada last fall before suffering a season-ending injury in the second game of the season. The third-year quarterback will face Sam Houston State and Appalachian State, both home games, to begin the season before a marquee matchup against Miami on Sept. 17.
Dec 15, 2021
Doing work in practice
King (ankle) has started to work his way back in practice, Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle reports.
ANALYSIS
King suffered a fractured ankle early in the season. Zach Calzada ended up taking over as the starter, but has since entered the transfer portal. King is not expected to be ready for the Gator Bowl on Dec. 31 against Wake Forest, so Blake Bost is in line to get the start.
Dec 7, 2021
Unlikely to return for bowl game
King (ankle) is unlikely to play in the Tax Slayer Gator Bowl against Wake Forest on Dec. 31, 247 Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
King fractured his ankle early in the season and just recently started running. Zach Calzada is more in rhythm and has a better grasp for the game at this point, so brining back King for this bowl game never made a lot of sense.
Sep 13, 2021
Suffers fractured ankle
King sustained a fractured ankle in last week's win over Colorado, Matt Zenitz of On3.com reports.
ANALYSIS
He underwent surgery on Sunday and is expected to be out until at least mid-October. Zach Calzada will be counted on to lead the offense in the interim. King's status should be updated over the next few weeks to check in on how his recovery is going.
Sep 11, 2021
Spotted in boot
King (foot) returned to the sidelines during Saturday's game against Colorado with his foot in a boot, Olin Buchanan of TexAgs.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Per the Fox broadcast, King will miss the remainder of the day, leaving Zach Calzada to lead the offense the rest of the way. More information should surface in the coming days as to the severity of King's injury.
Sep 11, 2021
Helped to locker room
King required assistance on his way into the locker room after suffering an injury during the first quarter of Saturday's game against Colorado, Mike Lucas of KAGS News reports.
ANALYSIS
King reportedly had no shoe on his right foot on his way to the locker room, suggesting that is likely the area of the injury for the freshman signal-caller. He completed just one of his two pass attempts for eight yards prior to exiting and has been replaced by Zach Calzada.
Sep 5, 2021
Two scores, three picks in win
King completed 21-of-33 passes for 292 yards, two touchdowns and three picks Saturday against Kent State.
ANALYSIS
King showed flashes but was ultimately lucky the competition was inferior, as he struggled with turnovers in his first start for the Aggies. Zach Calzada is waiting in the wings, so King's job is far from safe heading into a tougher matchup with Colorado.
Aug 25, 2021
Named Aggies' starter
Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher said King would start at quarterback in the Aggies' Sept. 4 season opener versus Kent State, Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle reports.
ANALYSIS
King emerged as the victor in the preseason battle with Zach Calzada for the right to replace longtime starter Kellen Mond under center. A second-year freshman, King saw only spot duty behind Mond during his first year in College Station, completing two of four attempts for 59 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing six times for 43 yards. He likely won't enter the season with much job security, so King will need to put together some quality performances early on to ensure he sticks atop the depth chart through the SEC portion of the Aggies' schedule.
Aug 19, 2021
Practices with second-team offense
King was working with the second-string offense during Thursday's practice, Travis L. Brown of The Bryan-College Station Eagle reports.
ANALYSIS
King saw action as the backup last season for Texas A&M but his appearance with the second-team offense suggests he may have fallen behind Zach Calzada a bit in the race to replace Kellen Mond under center. It's still fair to still consider it a quarterback battle until a starter for Week 1 is officially announced.
