Updated from coach-entered MaxPreps · October 20, 2026

Verified production.

Verified coach-entered MaxPreps figures are from the games with recorded individual statistics, not every snap King played or a ceiling on his football ability. Interior defensive linemen also contribute through gap integrity, occupying blocks, pressure and effort that a tackle total alone cannot capture. No specific film action is credited as a statistic unless verified.

A more useful way to review King Williams #99 is to see his actual game-by-game production alongside the film, rather than evaluating his development on one leaderboard number.

Regional recognition, with context

King's MaxPreps player page listed him at #40 in 5A Northwest for total tackles with 18 tackles, based on its October 19, 2026 reporting. This is a total-tackles regional leaderboard, not a rating of his overall ability or a ranking restricted to defensive tackles. Rankings can change as coaches submit more games and individual statistics.

The school-reported five-game sample is not all of King's season, and a nose guard's ability to occupy blocks, control gaps and disrupt plays is evaluated better through full game footage. His 2026 stat line also includes 0 credited sacks; do not label a clip a sack unless it can be verified.
