Nick Saban gives update on UA freshman outside linebacker

Normally, if one takes in a University of Alabama football practice, the rotation at outside linebacker under defensive coordinator Tosh Lupoi would appear as follows: Anfernee Jennings, Christian Miller, Jamey Mosley, Jarez Parks, Cameron Latu, Eyabi Anoma and Ben Davis.

Throughout this week, Parks was absent.

The four-star recruit from Florida was one of the nation’s top defensive end prospects in 2017 signing class; however, he was forced to grayshirt. He enrolled during the spring of this year and has fared well in his growth to become a contributing piece to a school that has suffered knee injuries to both Terrell Lewis and Christopher Allen.
