Another FDR prospect who was in attendance was Gavin Parks Gavin Parks 6'0" | 180 lbs | TE/LB Franklin D. Roosevelt High School | 2028 State NY . The FDR TE, is a player who not only can tackle a lead scout, but shows consistency in his game, and is constantly working to improve.

He may not be the best athlete on the field, but he consistently is working and has seen a huge improvement in his combine times from his last showcase. He showed strong hands, and was great in tough 50/50 catches. He showed good improvements with his skills, but should look to work on quicker routes, and getting a good burst off the line. Using his hands can be deadly, and allow him to gain crucial separation.

Gavin Parks Gavin Parks 6'0" | 180 lbs | TE/LB Franklin D. Roosevelt High School | 2028 State NY , a prospect who keeps me up to date with all his happenings via Twitter, was one of the younger tight end prospects to complete. His dedication and hard work are paying off, as he appears more polished than the first time I saw him, sometime last year if I recall correct. With some added size, he could figure to be the mix at tight end for FDR this year.

Parks is a player who wants to continue to improve in every rep. He attended our Stock Up Showcase in New Jersey, and also stopped in New York. Parks entered the event listed as a LB, which was a mistake, and wanted to compete as a TE due to his status as a dual threat player. Parks improved in his combine testing from NJ, in every category but broad jump showing he can continue to improve. Early on, there were some drop issues, with Parks, but as the showcase continued he improved with each rep. Parks is an extremely coachable and young playmaker. He measured in at 5’9″ 185-Pounds, which is perfect for a LB, but as a TE should look go fill out his build. Parks is a player who will continue to improve if he puts in the work.
