OL Aaryn Parks

One of Moten’s high school teammates was fellow 4-star OL Aaryn Parks.

Parks committed to Penn State in April of 2019, a couple months after Moten did. His commitment to Penn State would be even shorter than Moten’s as he also decommitted in June of 2019.

After taking multiple visits, Parks eventually landed on Oklahoma, who he signed with.

Parks did not see action in neither 2020 nor 2021 for the Sooners. He is listed as a participant in two games in 2022. OurLads has him listed as the third string left tackle on Oklahoma’s depth chart.

A redshirt sophomore is still considered a relatively young offensive lineman, so Parks still has plenty of time to become an impact player. Penn State certainly could use more depth at the tackle position and would have loved to have had Parks.
