Tackling Machine, Ball-Disrupting Linebacker for UC Davis
Tom Parisi showed up as a productive, instinctive linebacker for UC Davis, starting all 10 games in 2003 and finishing with 35 total tackles, 6 pass breakups, 1 interception, and a career-high 8 tackles in one game in the 2004 football guide. He stands out for his play recognition and coverage upside—those pass breakups from the linebacker spot are the kind of sneaky impact that coaches love. If you want a tone-setting defender who can stay on the field, read plays fast, and help against both the run and pass, Parisi looks like a strong fit.
