Mount Carmel, Ill. — Wabash Valley College's Bass Coach, Professor Todd Gill, is excited to announce the signing of Colin King for the upcoming 2020–2021 collegiate bass season.

Colin is the son of Mark and Jill King of Marion, Ill. He is a senior at Marion High School and is competing this spring with the Marion Bass Team for the fourth straight season. During his high school career, King has had multiple Top-10 finishes. His best finish was 4th place at the National Youth Fishing Association Championship in 2019. On March 1, 2020, King finished 23rd out of over 200 boats at a BASS High School Open on Smith Lake in Cullman, AL. This finish qualified King and teammate Brennan Fox to fish the BASS High School Nationals to be held later this summer. King plans to study Gunsmithing in college and is excited about his opportunity to be a part of the Wabash Valley College bass team.
