According to 247Sports.com and ESPN, Parsons was rated as a five-star prospect and was ranked #4 in his class. A number of schools, including Nebraska, Georgia, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Alabama, and Penn State, showed interest in Parsons as a recruit.
It was reported on December 19 that Ohio State had broken NCAA rules by allowing a Parsons to visit the set of ESPN’s College GameDay and pose for a photo with analyst Kirk Herbstreit.
