Tulsa Oilers News Release
Tulsa, Okla. - Tulsa Oilers Football, a proud member of the IFL, has announced the addition of former Oilers' running back, Tre King.
King, was signed by Tulsa for the first time back in October of 2022, prior to the inaugural season. The running back played three games with the Oilers, rushing for 15 yards and a touchdown while also putting up 58 receiving yards on six receptions and recording one receiving score.
The re-addition became one of Texas Tech's top-rushing producers when he joined the Red Raiders his junior season. The new weapon played in all 13 games his junior year and finished second on the team with 623 yards on the ground and five touchdowns. With 131 carries, the 6'0, 200 lbs running back averaged 4.8 yards per carry in his inaugural Big 12 season, all while collecting 104 yards through the air for 727 all-purpose yards on the campaign. King recorded his first game with 100 yards rushing or more against the eventual Big 12 Champion Oklahoma Sooners. The Wichita, Kansas native played in just six games his senior year at Texas Tech due to a nagging injury, still averaging 4.0 yards per carry to finish his Red Raider career with a 4.6 yards per attempt on the ground average.
"Tre did many great things at Texas Tech," said head coach Marvin Jones. "He can run, catch, and even play as a slot wide receiver. He is a very versatile athlete with a great attitude."
Before heading to the Big 12 Conference, the former Red Raider started his career as a Hutchinson Community College Blue Dragon, where he played in 13 games over two seasons, compiling 411 yards on 100 carries from the backfield, finishing with five touchdowns.
Tulsa will see its second season begin on the road against the Frisco Fighters on March 22, 2024, at 7:30 p.m. CST. The Oilers will open their home schedule facing the Iowa Barnstormers at the BOK Center on April 6, at 7:05 p.m. CST.
