King played three seasons for the Bulldogs but was ruled academically ineligible for the 2011 season last week.
"My years at the University of Georgia have afforded me a tremendous opportunity to develop my skills on the field," King said Tuesday through a prepared statement. "Coach Mark Richt and the entire UGA football team and staff have been instrumental in my growth and development both on and off the gridiron. I have learned countless lessons that continue to mold me into a better individual and player.
"While I will miss my Bulldog family, I will continue to put my situation and future career in God's hands. I look forward to pursuing an opportunity at the next level through the NFL's supplemental draft and playing the game that I have loved since I was a young boy."
