Arian Parish became one of the best players on the Katy defense last year as the sophomore racked up 50 total tackles including two for a loss, two forced fumbles, one interception, and broke up 11 passes. Parish helped the Tigers win a state title in 2020 and have aspirations to bring home another trophy in 2021.
This 5’11”, 175-pound, playmaker plays with tremendous aggression and intensity. Parish also possesses great tackling ability and footwork. The overall talent for the 2023 recruit has already attracted five offers including USC and Houston and is also drawing interest from Wisconsin.
In an exclusive Recruiting News Guru interview, I caught up with Arian as he prepares for his junior season and get an update on his recruiting process.
