Micah Aaron Parsons (born May 26, 1999) is an American football linebacker for the Penn State Nittany Lions. He won several awards and honors as a sophomore in 2019, including being named a consensus All-American.
After committing to Penn State, Parsons was informed by head coach James Franklin that he would start his Penn State career at middle linebacker rather than defensive end, which he played in high school. Franklin also announced that Parsons would be in contention for the starting job even though he was a true freshman. In his freshman year, Parsons only started one game for the Nittany Lions, but managed to lead the team in tackles with 82. He became the first Nittany Lion to ever lead the team in tackles as a freshman.
Prior to the start of the season, Parsons was named to the Butkus Award preseason watch list. In his sophomore year, Parsons recorded 109 tackles, 5 sacks, 3 deflected passes and 3 forced fumbles. Parsons went on to be named the Butkus–Fitzgerald Linebacker of the Year and a consensus All-American. Parsons had a dominating performance in the 2019 Cotton Bowl Classic and was named the Defensive MVP of the game. Parsons recorded 14 tackles, 2 sacks and 2 forced fumbles.
