Rutgers football offers freshman running back Jamarion Parker from St. Louis

Rutgers football is getting involved with a very interesting prospect in freshman prospect Jamarion Parker. Not only is it unusual for the Scarlet Knights to offer a freshman, but they are also doing so in a non-traditional area for recruiting.

Parker is from St. Louis, MO, a region that Rutgers doesn’t traditionally recruit. The class of 2025 running back is already a big contributor at Cardinal Ritter.

Playing a tough schedule last year that included several out-of-state opponents, the Lions went 7-7.

He holds a total of 16 offers already, including Power Five offers from Boston College, Louisville, Michigan, Missouri, Oregon State, Purdue, Texas A&M and West Virginia.

Last week, Parker pulled in offers from Arkansas State, Colorado and Oregon.
