Player Story

King Mack story

King Mack built his college career from 2023 through 2025 as a safety from Miami, FL wearing No. 16, spending time with Alabama and Penn State. The clearest part of King Mack's career was his defensive production: 75 tackles, 1 tackle for loss, 0.5 sacks, and 1 interception across 24 career games in the available record. His largest box-score season came in 2025 with Penn State. Those numbers show where he fit, how often the ball or action found him, and how his role developed over time.

Defensive careers can be hard to read from one number, but King Mack's production has multiple signals. His career also includes 140 return yards, giving the story more than a single-category snapshot. With 24 career games in the available record, his career has enough shape to show both opportunity and production across Alabama and Penn State.

The arc is straightforward: King Mack moved through the depth chart, found a larger role, and turned that opportunity into production that can be understood through standard football numbers.
