Tez Parks brings **speedy, agile backfield upside** to Southern Miss
Tez Parks profiles as a **quickness-first** running back whose appeal is in burst, footwork, and change-of-direction traits more than pure power; his documented testing at ESPN includes a **4.77-second 40-yard dash**, **4.41-second shuttle**, and **29.4-inch vertical**, suggesting usable athleticism for space-based touches.[2] At 6-foot-1 and 180 pounds, he fits as a lighter, more explosive option who can complement a larger runner, and the best fit is a team that values open-field acceleration, perimeter runs, and special-purpose snaps rather than a downhill bruiser role.[4][2]
