Parizek isn’t a new name around here. He’d established himself as a prospect of note before I saw him kick off his junior season against Wilton. In these cases, it’s valuable to check the progress in person, though. Parizek definitely grew physically, an inch taller and 30 pounds heavier than where we had him listed last year. It’s led to more physicality for the two-way lineman. And the good news is that there’s plenty of room to add more mass and strength without the loss of the agility and fluidness in his game that gives him a high ceiling. Parizek looks natural at left offensive tackle with a quick get-off and smooth feet. He sets up well in pass protection, utilizing his active hands and balance in controlling his opponent. There’s leg drive and leverage working in run blocking. That said, I like his potential on defense. The upside as an every-down menace on the D-Line is tantalizing.

While I was familiar with a good portion of Regina Catholic’s roster heading into its matchup with rival West Branch in Week 2 of the 2025 season, Parizek was a pleasant surprise during that in-person scout. The box score credited the sophomore left offensive tackle with one pancake, but he impacted the game well beyond that. A 63-yard touchdown run on the game’s first play went his way, and the Regals spent a lot of time operating to his side of the field. Parizek still has rawness to his game, but the potential is considerable. He’s agile and athletic with a frame capable of filling out and adding strength. Parizek is one to watch moving forward.
