Years: 1965-66


A fast, quick and courageous performer, Henry King is widely regarded as one of the best defensive back to ever play at Utah State. During his short two-year Aggie career, King registered 18 interceptions, including 11 during his senior season earning him first-team All-American honors. During his senior campaign, he set a school record with four interceptions in a single game against Pacific and had 180 interception return yards, which ranks second all-time at USU behind his 193 interception return yards during his junior campaign. As a junior, King ranked fourth in the nation with seven interceptions. Following his collegiate career, King was drafted in the third round of the 1967 NFL Draft by the New York Jets.
