Awan Parker brings veteran Idaho backfield grit and playmaking pop
In the 2026 season, Awan Parker has flashed as a versatile, veteran defensive back for Idaho, with enough athletic value that he also showed up in the opener as a weapon on offense, scoring 3 rushing touchdowns on 22 carries and adding 8 catches for 88 yards. The bigger story is his reliability and toughness: he’s an experienced, multi-season contributor who gives Idaho flexibility, physicality, and a little extra juice when the game gets chaotic. If you want a DB with proven football instincts and competitive edge, Parker is the kind of player who makes a defense harder to game-plan against.
