The second commit in the Stanford 2017 recruiting class is TE Colby Parkinson. Colby Parkinson is a local product from Westlake Village, CA, and attended Oaks Christian High School.
Parkinson is a 4-star recruit according to 247sports and the number 5 TE prospect in the country. This will mark the second year in a row Stanford will be getting a top tier TE prospect after signing Kaden Smith last year. Parkinson tweeted his commitment on Dec. 19th--just 1 day after Stanford had offered him a scholarship. To be more exact, it was 21 hours and 36 minutes later.
