RunInRed 16,477 Posted May 12, 2011 Author Share Posted May 12, 2011 Ricky Parks, TE Hogansville, GA 6'4 / 230 Offers: Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Georgia Tech, LSU, Mississippi State, South Carolina, USC and Vanderbilt, among others. 247Sports 4* (the247 -- 66) Rivals 4* (Rivals100 -- 92) Scout 4* (Top 250 -- 88) What an athlete Parks is. He spent his junior season at QB because of his athleticism, but he will move back to tight end on the next level. He will be a threat to get down the field and he is also a guy that could flex out. He has the size and speed to create mismatches. He will need to work on his blocking, getting off jams, and route running when he settles back in at tight end. He has a very high ceiling. - Chad Simmonshttp://auburn.scout.com/a.z?s=6&p=8&c=1&nid=4687015 Highlights: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGGR82 4 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 I would LOVE to get a kid like this...that kind of size allows for more versatility between TE/HB/FB. Hope this kid comes to the good guys Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auparrothead 0 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Brought dad this trip (dad is a UGA fan, but said his son is free to go where ever he feels best), but sounds like Auburn did a good job of answering all questions and gave Parks a lot to think about. Also, it looks like AU brought in the services of Quan Bray to talk to Parks during this visit. They have played a lot of football together and is also from Hogansville. Said he was planning on coming back for Big Cat, maybe that is where we can separate ourselves from Bama and UGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McWeagle 4 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 Very nice. Loving this string of TEs we've got going (even if we don't land this kid, obviously the interest is there). I think Lutz proved last year that this offense can and will feature the TE/H-Back prominently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmccullough 0 Posted May 13, 2011 Share Posted May 13, 2011 He also points out that Auburn is by far the closest to his home which would allow his parents to more easily come to the games and visit him otherwise. A lot of very good vibes for the Parks and the good guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said the other day that I thought that Ricky would be our next addition, and while I STILL think that he ends up committing to AU (maybe even next week), I'm backing off of that he will be "next".

AU Counsel 64 Posted May 27, 2011 Share Posted May 27, 2011 It would be an interesting pick-up. Thus far, Callahan is not rated on most of the recruiting services, probably due to a lack of camp exposure. We are in the mix for so many prospects, it is hard to get a feel for how this class will shape up. We are set at QB, and we seem poised to sign at least 5 or 6 offensive skill players at 4 stars or better. I look for an even distribution of highly rated players across all positions, and I probably am most curious about how we end up at defensive tackle, which is where I see our single biggest need.

He's a 3* on 247.. given a grade of 89. not real familiar with the way they do things, but yeah thats where he's at now. Don't believe ESPN has released their stuff yet.. just a watch list Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
