BEAVERTON, Ore. — Bakersfield (Calif.) Garces Memorial Top100 safety Jackson Parker is a name to know in the class of 2028. The 6-4, 185-pounder burst onto the national scene at The Opening regional in New Jersey. It was then that he cemented himself as one of the top players in his class in the eyes of 247Sports Director of Scouting Andrew Ivins.

Shortly after that workout, Parker was stamped as the No. 41 overall player in the country, No. 3 safety nationally, and No. 2 recruit in his home state. It was a whirlwind for Parker, who saw his recruitment really take off in a big way at that moment.

At The Opening Finals, 247Sports caught up with Parker about a variety of topics.
