2017 Alabama DE commit Jarez Parks at ’60 percent chance’ of joining team this fall

Perhaps Jarez Parks might be on the Alabama roster this season after all.

Ronald Freeman, Parks’ coach at Sebastian River (Fla.) High, told BamaOnLine on Saturday that the odds are at least somewhat favorable for Parks to join the Crimson Tide sooner than expected.

“We have been in talk with (Alabama),” Freeman said. “It’s a 60 percent chance that he will be reporting in the fall.”

Parks, a four-star defensive end in the 2017 recruiting class, was unable to sign with Alabama as he had planned on National Signing Day in February because it no longer had a scholarship available to use for him.
