Kettle Run’s Parker Receives Big Offer

Kettle Run (Nokesville, VA) safety/wide receiver Michael Parker has scored another major offer.  Ohio State, led by newly hired head coach Urban Meyer, is the seventh school to come through for the 6’4″, 210-pound junior, considered one of the top overall athletes in the state of Virginia’s 2013 class.  Previous offers include Boston College, Maryland, N.C. State, Tennessee, Virginia and Virginia Tech.

Parker has interest in at least exploring this new opportunity, as he has now added Ohio State to the list of schools he plans to visit.  No date has been scheduled, but he says he hopes to visit Columbus in the “near future.”  He will definitely visit Boston College next week for a junior day and Maryland for the men’s basketball game against Duke on January 25.  Notre Dame, which has not offered but was recently represented at Kettle Run High School, is another school the talented prospect hopes to visit soon.

So far, Parker has unofficially visited three schools:  Tennessee, Virginia, and Virginia Tech.  He lists Tech as the school he has visited most so far.  Tech also has made a very positive impression upon the Cougars standout.

“Of the ones that have offered, Virginia Tech has really made the most impression on me,” Parker said.  “They executed well on the defensive side of the ball last season.  They came to play.  I was real impressed by Virginia Tech this year.  [In terms of those schools that haven’t offered], LSU is definitely someone I want to hear from.  They definitely have a spot on my ‘Wanted Offers’ list.”
