Kentucky got Parks on campus for an official visit in June and have been linked with this recruit for months. After spending his junior season in Florida, Parks will relocate for his senior season. The class of 2026 prospect will play for Nitro (W.Va.) High this fall.

Kentucky will enter the 2025 season with two offensive line commits in the 2026 class. Guard Tyreek Jemison and tackle Cameron Miller are in the fold. Expect the coaching staff to be active in the offensive line market as the recruiting calendar inches closer to national signing day in December.
