Parker Henry, the player whom WSU’s Mike Leach hails as “the greatest overachiever I’ve ever coached” has made a name for himself on WSU’s defense. It just took some effort to get to that point after a stellar career at Skyview High.
Parker Henry’s story is one of a kid who never stopped believing in himself.
Coming out of Vancouver’s Skyview High in 2012, Henry was a first team all-state selection at running back, where he’d racked up 2,133 yards and 35 touchdowns to lead Skyview to the state championship game during his senior season. But strangely, Henry didn’t garner much attention from college recruiters.
