Tyreek King, a rising star in the 2025 recruiting class and a recent commit to the University of Tennessee, has been extended a coveted invitation to participate in NFL wide receiver Justin Jefferson’s exclusive “Flight School” receiver camp. The invitation is a major honor, marking King as one of the top young wideouts in the country and giving him the opportunity to train with one of the NFL’s most dynamic pass catchers.
Jefferson’s “Flight School” camp, now in its second year, is quickly gaining a reputation as one of the most prestigious offseason development events for elite high school and college-bound wide receivers. Designed to provide both high-level instruction and professional mentorship, the camp brings together a select group of promising prospects to work on route-running, footwork, release techniques, body control, and other key receiver fundamentals — all under the watchful eye of Jefferson and a team of seasoned coaches and trainers.
King’s invitation to the camp underscores the growing national buzz around the 6-foot, 180-pound receiver from Georgia. Widely viewed as one of the more explosive playmakers in the Southeast, King committed to Tennessee earlier this spring over offers from several Power Five programs including Florida State, Ole Miss, and South Carolina. His blend of speed, agility, and ball-tracking ability has made him a standout on the 7-on-7 circuit and a nightmare matchup for opposing defensive backs.
The chance to work alongside Justin Jefferson — who led the NFL in receiving yards in 2022 and is widely considered one of the league’s most technically sound and athletic receivers — offers King an invaluable experience ahead of his senior high school season. In a recent interview, King expressed his excitement and gratitude for the opportunity.
“Getting the call to be part of Flight School was surreal,” King said. “Justin Jefferson is one of the best in the world, and learning from someone like that is a dream come true. I’m going to soak up every second and bring those lessons back to my team and eventually to Tennessee.”
Jefferson, who launched the camp to give back to the next generation of talent, personally reviews the list of invitees and is known to emphasize work ethic, football IQ, and character just as much as raw athletic ability. That King made the cut speaks volumes about his standing in the eyes of elite evaluators and professionals.
Tennessee head coach Josh Heupel and his staff have also taken note of King’s latest accolade. Heupel, known for his high-powered offensive system that leans heavily on big-play wide receivers, has made King a focal point of the Vols’ 2025 recruiting class. The staff sees him as a future contributor capable of fitting seamlessly into the vertical passing attack that has become the hallmark of Tennessee football in recent years.
King’s development through events like Flight School could accelerate his trajectory toward early playing time once he arrives in Knoxville. With Tennessee continuing to reload talent on the perimeter following the departures of standout receivers to the NFL, there’s a clear path for King to make an immediate impact.
Recruiting insiders believe King’s presence at the camp could also elevate his national profile and spark movement in rankings ahead of the upcoming high school season. While already considered a four-star prospect by most recruiting services, strong performances at top-tier national events like Flight School often serve as a proving ground for players seeking to make the leap to elite status.
As for King, he’s staying focused on what matters most — getting better every day and honoring the opportunity to learn from one of the game’s best.
“I just want to compete and keep improving,” King said. “This invite is a blessing, but it’s also motivation. I know I’ve got more work to do, and this is just another step in the journey.”
With his combination of talent, mindset, and opportunity, Tyreek King is quickly becoming a name to watch — not just for Vols fans, but for college football followers across the country. His time at Flight School is likely to be another important chapter in a story that’s just getting started.
