Nick Parisi has a busy summer lined up, the Long Island prospect already making an impression on the camp circuit.
A linebacker at Holy Trinity (Hicksville, N.Y.), he had 26 tackles for a team that went 10-0 last season. Last week, Holy Trinity wide receiver Dylan Braithwaite committed to the Rutgers football program.
Parisi, who just turned 16-years old in May, seems to have taken a step forward in his development since the fall. At the Rutgers football camp last week, he said his name was being called out by the coaching staff.
“The Rutgers camp was great,” Parisi told RutgersWire. “I was pretty pumped up for it. I feel it was my best overall performance.”
Being noticed by the Rutgers staff doesn’t appear to be an isolated incident.for the linebacker.
“Temple must have also known who I was as well,” Parisi said. “I heard one of their coaches say, ‘Do we have eyes on Parisi!’…that was really cool to hear.”
