Hey guys,
I know there's a separate thread already on Deondre Parks and his family, but I wanted to make a new one to share his amazing story and keep it fresh in everyone's mind.
I was fortunate enough to sit down with him for more than 45 minutes last month and what I got was as emotional, eloquent, raw and real as I've ever seen a college athlete. He did not hold anything back and having to condense it down into a feature-length story was difficult, but this is the result. The story starts at the 11:46 mark of the video: https://t.co/50Dv7ohcmR
All the credit in the world goes to Deondre and South Dakota State for allowing me the opportunity to tell his journey. If you didn't have a reason before, you certainly do now: Deondre Parks is a man worth rooting for and supporting no matter what.
Please let me know what you guys think and I hope I did his story justice. Thanks.
