On Thursday it was announced that 2020 Columbus High School running back Henry Parrish was offered by the Florida Gators.\u00a0 This gave him the big three trifecta as he was already holding offers from Miami and Florida St.\u00a0 Parrish has been on the scene for a while but he really came into common consciousness at the beginning of this season when he went crazy in his head to head battle with the six rated RB in the country Don Chaney Jr. from Belen Jesuit.<\/p>\n
Parrish won’t wow you with measurables or dynamic runs.\u00a0 That’s what you need at RB to be a heavyweight in recruiting cycles.\u00a0 What Parrish does do on film is all the things you like to see out of a dependable running back.\u00a0 While the fanbases love to see the explosive 80 yard runs,\u00a0 the truth of the matter is that a guy that can move the sticks,\u00a0 put you in manageable down and distance situations consistently plus catch the ball out of the backfield are as important.\u00a0 This is exactly what Parrish brings to the table.\u00a0 Playing in one of the toughest areas in the country in terms of high school football talent,\u00a0 Parrish has managed to put together a pretty impressive highlight reel.<\/p>\n
Parrish’s tape features natural running back skills like following his blocks, setting up defenders, running behind his pads, bursting to daylight, great vision and finishing off runs.\u00a0 He’s a polished product that looks like he’s been a running back all his life.\u00a0 He will remind you a bit of Frank Gore in terms of his natural running ability.\u00a0 In this his senior year,\u00a0 he has added the element of breaking tackles which has made him even more attractive.\u00a0 With solid coaching and continued development,\u00a0 Parrish is going to be the guy that comes out of nowhere at the next level.\u00a0 He’s currently ranked as the 26th running back in the country and 360th prospect overall according to 247sports.\u00a0 He is holding 22 offers and is currently committed to Pittsburgh.\u00a0 It looks like his recruitment might get interesting down the stretch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
