It’s somehow been a relatively quiet true freshman season for Micah Parsons. Despite entering Penn State as the most ballyhooed commit since Derrick Williams following a journey on the recruiting trail that took many twists and turns, Parsons has mostly kept his head down to have a solid year right of the gates. He’s continued to improve with each outing, and is now Penn State’s leading tackler (with one more than MIKE linebacker Jan Johnson) despite still technically being a reserve and sharing time with Koa Farmer.
But players like Parsons aren’t just meant to be quietly productive.
