Wow, does Parsons look ready....

[GregInPitt]

He already looks like he has the guns for the NFL... Glad we have him for 3 years!

And I just can't wait to watch him destroy Kenny Football in week two!!!!

Been following this great prospect since hearing about him as a high school sophomore, and then all through his recruiting saga.

And TODAY we get to see him compete in a game for the Nittany Lions! pretty neat

 

[Woodpecker]

Project. He might see the field if the coaches develop him.

Who was the last true freshman linebacker to make a huge impact?

 

[mrmk5110]

PSU version of Von Miller.

 

[marshall23]

Water Boy!

 

[Nitt1300]

He has a lot of growing up to do, but he's in the right place to do it.

True freshman Sean Lee stepped in for injured Paul P. in the 2006 Orange Bowl. Not sure if he made a "huge impact" but that was a tough spot for a true freshman, especially considering who he was replacing and what Posluzny meant to that defense.

 

[Chickenman Testa]

That’s one of the guys who steps off the bus first at away games.

Too bad he verbaled so early

 

[royboy]

Reminiscent of what Joe Paterno said of Ted Kwalick:

What God had in mind here was a football player

He doesn't even run in the right direction. Maybe we'll see him on the field in a couple of years.

He had a full season under his belt by then. It will be interesting to see how quickly Parsons makes progress. He certainly doesn't look like a high school kid.

 

[ZelieLion]

Definitely looks NFL ready. As long as the head is close to the body in terms of readiness he could be special immediately

 

[psuro]

I could have biceps like that. I just choose not to.

 

[PSU.:.]

Holy hell its a Lavar clone

 

[PSUer1989]

The coaches have all said he has been a great addition to the team. He works incredibly hard and asks questions all the time to keep learning. This narrative on his maturity based on his recruitment needs to go away.

Yep...

Dan Connor?

Imagine this in three years: Parsons, Smith, Luketa

Needless to say, I am very high on this group. If they learn their positions well they could be the best trio ever.

Do you think Parson's will be here in 3 years?

Shareef Miller said he runs sideline to sideline so that's a good thing.....he won't end up in the wrong end zone going sideways

 

[KnightWhoSaysNit]

Sorry. 2.33 years would be more accurate.

and it will, if he shows that he's grown up- he made a less than stellar impression on a lot of people, he can overcome that himself, and I hope that he will

He’s built better as a FR IMO. Has about 20 lbs in Arrington and only an inch shorter. Can’t wait to see him play today!
