Elite Michigan running back commit discusses future goals
Four-star 2025 running back commit Jasper Parker has some lofty goals set for himself once he hits The Big House turf. The 6-foot, 211-pound Parker has the look of a prototypical Michigan back that can bully you with his power or leave you in the dust with his speed. Parker spoke with Michigan Insider Brice Marich regarding his decision to commit to Michigan and his goals once he arrives. His decision to join the maize and blue had alot to do with the culture and the utilization of running backs in the offensive scheme. Michigan has long been known as a run heavy team and values talented running backs immensely.
"I'm just looking to help the team in anyway I can and do what I can."

Parker is currently the lone Michigan commit representing at the Polynesian Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii. The elite back looks to show off his skills against other four and five-star talent during 1-v-1 and skills training portion of the bowl experience. The weeklong training culminates in the bowl game on Friday, Jan. 17 at 4:00 pm HT.
