No. 11 Andrew King, Senior Wideout
Columbia, Maryland
Major: Accounting

Andrew King is ready to ride the momentum of a sensational junior campaign and propel his game to the next level for his final season within the Morgan State offense. The Columbia, Maryland native was the most productive receiver for the Bears despite missing the first four games of the 2014 season. He finished with a team-high 42 catches for 508 yards and six touchdowns.  As a returning veteran and one of 11 seniors for the Bears, King is primed to contribute much more on offense in 2015 and should contend for postseason honors. King and the Bears will open the 2015 season on the road against Air Force on Saturday, Sept. 5.
