King, an Edmonton native, played the last three seasons with Hamilton, recording 15 tackles and one quarterback sack.

Prior to being selected by the Tiger-Cats in the 2013 CFL draft, he played four seasons at Saint Mary’s University (2009-12).

He is the younger brother of Eskimos long snapper Ryan King.
