Holland twittes DE Parker Collins of Frisco Liberty comments to SMU.

this is the walkon commitment right

hudl lists him at 6'3" and 215. Safe to say this guy moves to LB at SMU?

Believe so

Did any school have any interest in him?

Yes, it as been reported that he is a walk on.

Running back

Running back? That's good size, especially if he can add some muscle as he matures. Anyone know what kind of speed he has?

Potential to be a nice walk-on. Welcome, Parker!

Slow down with Parker. I have coached him for 3 years and he is a fantastic kid yet has a long way to go with playing football. That's not a shot at him because I think the world of him but there is much work for him to do if he indeed is playing football for SMU. And he is certainly not a RB. This is complete news for me that SMU is on him. The only schools I've seen in our office talking to him are Rice and Carnegie-Mellon. Haven't seen an SMU recruiter in over a year.

Thanks coach. The last sentence actually lends credence to the possibility

That was meant as a joke.

Out of curiosity, which school do you coach at? Do kids even know what SMU is / wonder why theyre never around or are we virutally non existent?

I'd bet Frisco Liberty
