2007: As a sophomore in 2007, Parsons was switched from defensive tackle to offensive tackle in 2007 fall camp. He saw action in all 13 games on special teams (primarily on kickoff return) and limited action as a backup on the offensive line (against Idaho, Notre Dame, UCLA and Illinois). He made a tackle against Idaho (following an interception). He had arthroscopic surgery on torn cartilage in his right knee prior to 2007 spring practice.
