Isaac Parks 2019 All American

Parks Named To Associated Press All-America Team

December 18, 2019

ROLLA, Mo. – The postseason honors continued to trickle in for the UNC Pembroke football team on Wednesday afternoon when senior Isaac Parks was named to the Associated Press (AP) Little All-America Team for the second-straight year, the organization announced.
 
With the announcement, Parks became just the third player in the history of the program to be decorated with all-America honors in multiple seasons. The Greensboro native earned all-America honors from three different organizations as a sophomore last season, including a second team nod from the AP.
 
The Braves have now sent at least one player to all-America nods following each of the last seven seasons, and for the 11th time in the 13-year history of the program. Parks is the only player in school history to be named to the AP Little All-America Team twice, and is now the third player in program lore to rake in first team honors from the organization.
 
Parks led all of NCAA Division II with a 45.7 yard average on 52 punts, including 17 kicks that went for 50 or more yards. The junior pinned opponents inside the 20-yard line on 19 of his 52 kicks (36.5 percent), including 11 that forced opponents to set up shop inside their own 10-yard line. He set a new school record with a 52.5 yard average on four punts in the win over Mars Hill, including a season-longest 67-yard kick in the fourth quarter. He matched that effort with a 67-yard punt in the season finale against UVa.-Wise as well.
 
A three-year starter for the Black & Gold, Parks already holds UNCP career records for punt yards (6,772) and punt attempts (159), and currently possesses a program-best 42.59 punting average as well. He also owns three of the top four single-game punting performances in program history, as well as four of the 10 longest punts in program lore.
