MIAMI, Florida - Wilmington College football senior safety Tre'Quez Parks has accepted an invitation to compete at the 2022 Podyum All-Star Bowl in Miami, Florida, in early January.
The Podyum All-Star Bowl is an elite collegiate all-star game held annually in Miami, Florida at the beginning of January. NFL, CFL, Indoor, and international scouts attend the three-day showcase to evaluate the 100 elite prospects selected from all levels of the NCAA (FBS, FCS, DII, DIII, NAIA). The Podyum All-Star Bowl is not only focused on providing athletes the opportunity to showcase their athletic ability, but also to provide athletes and families with the inside knowledge of what it takes to play professional football. Talks led by NFL agents, scouts, and trainers provide our athletes with the blue print of what they need to succeed.
Parks, a four-time All-OAC honoree, tallied a team-best 83 tackles for an average of over 10 per game, best in the conference. The Beechcroft High School alumnus leaves the program fourth all-time in career tackles with 376 while also tallying 5.5 sacks, forcing four fumbles and intercepting five passes.
Wilmington, which lost its first eight games of the season, ended the year with consecutive victories, defeating Capital University 24-21 on Senior Day on Nov. 6 and a 37-33 triumph at Otterbein University in the season finale on Nov. 13. Coincidentally, Parks concluded his career not far from home as the Columbus native walked off Memorial Stadium in Westerville for the final time wearing the Green & White.
