The 5-foot-10, 175-pound Parks finished his Utah career quite accomplished. He played a key role in Utah’s second Pac-12 championship victory in 2022, which was his most productive campaign. He finished that season with 26 receptions for 414 yards and two touchdowns, capped by a career-high 88 receiving yards on four receptions and a career-long 57-yard touchdown in Utah’s Pac-12 Championship win over USC.

Over the next two seasons, Parks stepped up as a leader. Parks finished his career with 47 game appearances, which resulted in 79 receptions for 1,013 yards and eight touchdowns.
