Jaleel Parham Jaleel Parham 5'8" | 130 lbs | DB Parkview | 2027 State GA plays on both sides of the ball for Parkview, returning as their leading receiver while contributing all over the field as a defender. He will project out as a DB, where his physicality at the line and throughout the route process consistently draws my praise. He is capable of playing above the rim at 5’10, and reps on offense add more context to his ability to track and play the ball. On both sides of the ball, Parham is a hinge for Parkview, and he has generated D1 buzz consistently all offseason.

Parham, now up to 5’10 172, is an electric two-way player picking up consistent D1 buzz this offseason. He is coming off a fall where he produced at a high level on both sides of the ball, but will project long-term as a DB. Parham isn’t afraid to get physical at the line, tracks the ball well, and can climb the ladder to high-point the ball, so he plays much bigger than listed. Reps on offense add context to his athleticism and hands. Just a solid player picking up a lot of positive momentum the last few months.

Parham stood out as one of the better two-way players in the tournament. Offensively, he showcased good ball skills and vertical speed that consistently threatened cornerbacks downfield. His ability to stretch the field translated into explosive opportunities.

Defensively, he mirrored releases with confidence and used his speed to contain vertical routes, squeezing receivers toward the sideline and limiting space. His comfort flipping sides of the ball and maintaining impact speaks to his athleticism and instincts. Day 2 highlighted his versatility and competitive edge.

Another two-way prospect to know about his season, Parham is a promising Gwinnett County prospect who shined on both sides of the ball in week one of his junior season. The 5-foot-11 175-pounder hauled in just four passes on offense but made each one of them count. He took those four passes 139 yards and scored two touchdowns, showing impressive explosiveness and the ability to sneak past defensive backs down the field. He’s an easy weapon in the passing game and could be one of the region’s top wideouts this season if he continues to play at a high level.

A dependable cornerback in Gwinnett County who may not be flying under the radar for much longer, Parham is coming off a strong sophomore season for Parkview last fall and saw a new offer come his way from Miami (OH). He’s a defender with his best football still way ahead of him bound for a giant junior season for a Parkview team back on the rise.
