| As a junior, Parsons picked up Honorable Mention All-District honors after helping his team to a District Championship.
Parsons earned Scout.com All-Combine Team honors after impressing at the Texas Portion of the All-American Regional Combine Tour.
He benches 340 pounds, squats 475 and has a 29-inch vertical jump.
Parsons is also being recruited for track and competes in the shot put (best distance is 52.6 feet) and discus (best distance is 160.7 feet). Parsons, however, only plans on competing in football in college.
"I'm very agile and quick. I can run the forty in 4.8 seconds. I have quick feet and play with a certain veracity that people haven't really seen. I bring a defensive mentality to the offensive line.
"I still want to work on my technique. Also, I want to get my strength up and put on some weight. I carry my weight like a 300-pounder, but I'd like to get even bigger and have that competitive edge."
