SAN DIEGO, California - The Strike Force have signed defensive lineman Skye King to their 2020 Indoor Football League roster.
King (6-3, 270, York University) joins San Diego for his first season as a member of the IFL. Prior to being signed, King participated in The Spring League.
"Skye is a relentless pass rusher with a motor that doesn't stop running until he gets to the quarterback or the ball," said Strike Force General Manager Ryan Eucker. "We're excited to see his outdoor skills translate to the indoor game and for him to compete in training camp."
King completed two seasons at York University located in Toronto, Ontario. Both years he started all eight games on the defensive line and recorded a career total of 25 tackles, one tackle for loss, and one pass break-up. In 2016, the Canadian native was named on the All-Rookie Team and went on to represent Canada at the 2016 U19 World Junior Championships, where he won a gold medal. He also represented Canada at the U19 International Bowl in Texas the same year. After York University, he went on to the Canadian Junior Football League with the Langley Rams where he played in 14 games and received CJFL All-Canadian honors, as well as being named the BCFC Top Defensive Lineman.
King attended Notre Dame High School located in his hometown, Alberta, Canada. He was part of the provincial championship team that won back-to-back years (2013, 2014).
