Good luck, Sir! You have made us all proud. Best wishes on the next chapter in your journey.
It’s time for the young man to spread his wings at the next level! He has done enough at this level! Good luck!
I believe this is the right decision for Derek, thank him for his years here, and really hope to see him in the NFL.
Give 'em hell.
A great Coog for life!
Good luck, Derek! Thanks for your time here! I hope we can all continue to enjoy your football talents at the next level!
I didn’t know that he had another year of eligibility.
Good luck to you Mr. Parish. Thank you for your worthy contributions to our football program.
Question: Did he graduate?
Count me as a fan wherever you go, Derek!
Yeah, he graduated and has his degree. His mom mentioned it in a thread a while ago.
Yes, he earned his BS in Sociology
He could have used a medical redshirt, I believe he was eligible for that.
What’s his twin up to?
His grandmother is on a committee with me and her face always glows when we talk about Derek.
good luck Derek.
Blake is home for Christmas. He is still with the 82nd Airborne at Ft. Bragg. He will attend a special training school at Ft. Benning in January for about 8 weeks. Thank you for asking 
Proud of Derek and his contributions and leadership. I wish him nothing but the best in life.
In our group he is very associated with having the most aesthetically pleasing rear end, so his nickname is America’s ass.
Hahaha
