WSU’s Parker Henry, an undersized linebacker, has blossomed ferociously since he was moved to nickelback during the Cougars’ preseason camp.
LEWISTON — Parker Henry played football on Monday with the vigor of someone who has spent his entire life performing the wrong role, only to discover the ease and comfort that come when a person begins to do what is natural.
The ferocity of his tackles drew gasps from his teammates. He ended a passing drill by outjumping star receiver Gabe Marks to snag an interception and caused another during a scrimmage by deflecting a pass into a teammate’s hands.
