Touted defender Micah Parsons continues to give Nebraska fans credit for showing up and supporting Friday Night Light campers this past June.

In an interview with Penn Live, a central Pennsylvania news group, Parsons said Nebraska is the visit that stood out the most of all the trips he’s taken so far.

Parsons explained he was, and remains, blown away by the Nebraska fan base chanting his name during the camp.

“A high school camp, 8,000 people came, you never hear of that,” he told the reporter. “That’s unheard of. They’re all chanting me. I’m catching the ball and they’re chanting. It’s like “Micah Parsons” and, oh my God, how do they know me? We’re like thousands of miles from Nebraska. No one knows me and they’re chanting me. It was insane.”

The Huskers are hoping to get Parsons back on campus for a game and hope he’ll be similarly impressed, and the plan is the five-star defender expects to take an official visit to Lincoln.

Nebraska needs an outside linebacker and at 6-foot-3, 235 pounds, Parsons would more than fit the bill and give the Huskers their best pass rushing recruit since Randy Gregory.

That’s still a very long way away, as Ohio State and Penn State are in the mix, as are Alabama, Florida State and other schools.
