Penn State linebacker Kobe King turning the corner this summer

Despite being twins, Penn State defenders Kalen and Kobe King have some significant differences. The first and most obvious difference is that one stands at 5-11, 191 pounds, and the other is Kobe King. For most of his career, the latter King has been a solid 250-pound middle linebacker. More on that in a moment.  But the other, more subtle difference is the speed at which they operate. Kalen is a cornerback and flies around the football field, covering the fastest players on the opposing team. But the standout cornerback was also fast adapting to Penn State. He made a name for himself in his first spring campaign after enrolling in January of 2021. Since then, he’s been a staple of the secondary.
