NOC coach Donnie Jackson was ecstatic with King’s selection.
“I’m very proud of Demaree and the recognition he has received, he has earned all of it,” Jackson said.
“From walk-on to All-American, that is quite the story for a young man who has put the work to get the opportunities he has earned,” Jackson added. “I couldn’t be happier and more excited for him.”
