4-star DE Tomarrion Parker decommits from Penn State

Four-star edge rusher Tomarrion Parker has decommitted to the Penn State Nittany Lions. Now, UGA, Florida, Tennessee, and more are in the mix.

Elite classs of 2023 edge rusher Tomarrion Parker has decommitted from the Penn State Nittany Lions. The Georgia Bulldogs were among the top schools recruiting Parker before he committed to Penn State.

Florida, Alabama, Tennessee, and Michigan State are other schools in the mix for the four-star defensive line recruit. Parker has official visits set with Florida and Tennessee this fall.

Tomarrion Parker plays high school football for Central High School in Phenix City, Alabama. Parker is on the same high school team as five-star Georgia commit AJ Harris.

Phenix City is located quite close to Columbus, Georgia. Athens is not a long drive from Phenix City.

Parker is ranked the No. 12 defensive lineman in the rising senior class and the No. 100 prospect overall. Parker is a rising senior with scholarship offers from many of the top college football programs in the nation.

The 6-foot-4, 250-pound defensive lineman bulked up his frame, which should help him be more effective against the run. Parker has the ability to play right away as a freshman in college.

On tape, Parker is quick to get around the edge and shows good closing speed. Parker’s best attribute is his ability to rush the passer. He shows good effort and pursuit and projects as a 3-4 outside linebacker or as a 4-3 defensive end depending on the defensive scheme.

Parker’s decommitment is a tough loss for Penn State and head coach James Franklin. The Nittany Lions have the No. 10 ranked recruiting class of 2023.

4-star DT and Georgia recruiting target sets new commitment date

4-star DT Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins, a Georgia football recruiting target, set a new commitment date.

Last week, 2021 four-star defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram-Dawkins released a top six of Georgia, North Carolina, Florida State, South Carolina, Penn State and Tennessee.

Prior to revealing his final group, the 6-foot-5-inch, 298-pounder tweeted that he would announce his decision on Sunday, May 17.

Shortly after, he decided he needed some more time to make this life-changing decision.

Ingram-Dawkins now has a new commitment date of June 26, which is his birthday.

“I’m committing June 26th, on my birthday,” Ingram-Dawkins said on Instagram Live.

247Sports has Ingram-Dawkins as the nationā€™s No. 17 ranked defensive tackle and as the top player in the state of South Carolina.

Per the composite rankings, he is considered the nation’s 408th overall player.

Per 247Sports, South Carolina is viewed as the leader for Ingram-Dawkins, with Georgia close behind.

But Ingram-Dawkins said he does not pay much attention to the crystal ball on his 247Sports player profile.

The crystal ball is their way of Ā projecting where a recruit will land by having Ā a few recruiting analysts make predictions for specific players.

Georgia offered him in January and got him on campus in early-March.
