Trey Parker’s commitment to NC State on Wednesday, right at the tail end of the early signing period, felt like it came out of the blue. For a top-150 player, his recruiting profile is oddly empty. Rivals shows other offers from Kansas State, Mississippi State, and Georgia Tech.
Parker, who is from North Carolina but is spending the year playing in Georgia, is a consensus three-star recruit. He has inspired some large disagreements in his evaluation, as there are services that rank him around 150 in the class, and others that have him in the top 75.
