Parker Yokem '26 Recruiting Profile

I first started playing tackle football when I was 8 and immediately fell in love with the game and the grind to continuously get better. In the 8 years since then, I have aspired to play collegiate football and I know that playing football at the collegiate level is a once in a lifetime opportunity. 

I have very good leadership qualities, mental toughness, football IQ, I have very good flexibility, especially for an offensive lineman, I am coachable and will take constructive criticism the right way and work on my craft further. I am a very good teammate and hold myself and my teammates accountable on the field, in the weightroom, and especially in the classroom. I strive to be the hardest working person and player that you'll find anywhere. 

I work relentlessly, year-round on my footwork, agility, and strength abilities. I go to the gym to work on these 5 days a week, on top of lifting at school an aditional 5 times per week.

In the classroom, I study hard and I have been able to maintain a high GPA while being a full year ahead in both Math and Science. I try to be a good teammate and hold people accountable in the classroom to better them as a student and an athlete. 

I would love to attend a college or university that lets me accel as a student-athlete, both in the classroom, and on the football field. I am open to all options but want to ultimately find the right fit for myslef as a student-athlete and to have the ighest possible competition. I would love to become a good role model to my teammates and classmates, as well as in my community. In the end, I most want to make my parents, coaches, teammates, and community proud.
