Columbia
"Parks played with the champion New England Colonials of the Atlantic Coast League last year. He holds the Columbia career record for reception yardage (1,442) and his 10 touchdowns tied the Lion career record. Jesse had a 15.7 college career receiving average.
Jesse had 33 catches for 441 yards and a 13.4 average as a senior and led the Ivy League in receiving as a sophomore (442 yards). He was All-Ivy and All-East all three years, an ECAC Player of the Week in 1970 and scored 20 of Columbia's 22 points against Princeton in 1970.
Parks was a Lou Gehrig Scholarship winner at Columbia and majored in psychology. He played outfield and first base on the Lion baseball team. He was a three-sport star (football, basketball, baseball) at Classical High in Springfield, Mass., and Parks and fellow Star rookie Mike Evans played on a Classical football squad that lost only once in their three years. His birthplace is New Orleans."
