young, rangy Gophers DB with a promising upside
Parrish entered Minnesota as a consensus three-star cornerback recruit and 2025 freshman with a lean 5-foot-11, 175-pound frame, giving the Gophers a developmental defensive back who can add speed and length to the secondary. In his freshman season, he played in five games and recorded one tackle, which points to a player still climbing the depth chart but already earning live-game snaps. The appeal is upside: he brings a classic DB build, Big Ten competition experience, and room to grow into a versatile coverage piece if his technique and consistency keep sharpening.
