Penn State football's Micah Parsons welcomes newborn | Centre Daily Times

Micah Parsons, a potential star on the Penn State football team, has more than himself to go to school and play for.

The highly recruited linebacker turned Nittany Lions defender tweeted a picture Tuesday of himself and his newborn baby. He confirmed in a later tweet that he is now a father.

Parsons joined the ranks of Saquon Barkley who had his first child one week ago. Barkley's girlfriend Anna Congdon gave birth to Jada Clare Barkley two days before he was drafted by the New York Giants No. 2 overall in the 2018 NFL Draft.

Parsons did not reveal the baby's gender or name.
