We all know him as a PSU football recruit, but he was a PJW state champ.
 
Young Mr. Parsons likes the spotlight (and maybe his dad does, too, which wouldn't make him unique ;)), but he really is an incredible athlete. Not particularly relevant for wrestling (other than an indication of explosiveness), but he's also really a fast runner for his size.

Wouldn't say that it's not particularly relevant. Easier to mold elite athletes into great wrestlers than average athletes assuming the work ethic is there. See: Ruth, Edward.

Certainly agree with that. Just a minor clarification -- my point was that Parsons has excellent footspeed for a guy his size. I have no doubt that Ed Ruth is a great athlete but I don't know if he can run fast. I hesitate to mention this, but the best all-around athlete for a wrestler that I've been aware of is Kyle Dake. Very coordinated, fast, naturally strong, good baseball player -- some unusual athletic skills
