2016 DB high on Georgia Tech after visit
With his Jacksonville (Fla.) Bolles team rolling through the Florida State Football Playoffs and Joseph King V playing a major role on the squad's suffocating defense, it shouldn't come as surprise that recruiting interest is picking up - even if college coaches haven't been able to watch his highlight film yet.
"Our coach keeps our film on private and now that it's about to be the evaluation period it's public so I'm hearing from more schools," said King, a 5-foot-10, 160-pound cornerback. "I think once teams start to see it I will start to get some offers."

This weekend King was in Atlanta to visit Georgia Tech, the biggest program showing serious interest at this point.
"I loved it," King said. "It was great. We got there a little late because we had a game the night before and I had to drive up but I talked with Coach Peter Hurt for a little bit and they were excited to have me back up there."
King camped with the Yellow Jackets over the summer, where he first caught the staff's eye.
"I went up in the summer and I did well at the camp," he said. "I have been talking to Coach Owens since then and keeping in touch. They let me know after this visit that they want me to come back again for their junior day."
With Georgia Tech beating ACC foe Clemson, King said he was impressed with what he saw from the team on the field.
"The whole team played well but the secondary was phenomenal," he said. "They made big plays all day and I'm excited for what's in the future for them and hopefully for me."
On the season, King has two interceptions and 13 pass breakups for Bolles, which plays in the second round of the Florida State Football Playoffs on Friday.
