The Texas 10: A look at the best defensive linemen returning for 2022

4. Derek Parish, [Houston]

2021 review: 56 tackles, 12.5 TFL, 5.5 sacks

2022 outlook: Parish was a second-team All-AAC selection after a strong junior campaign in 2021 that included 56 tackles and over five sacks. He’s a versatile player with starts at defensive end, linebacker, and fullback during his career at Houston. The Pearland native is a tenacious and aggressive defender who utilizes his lack of ideal height by winning leverage battles at the line of scrimmage. Houston lost a pair of talented defensive linemen to the NFL process after the 2021 season, so Parish’s role should only grow in 2022.

THIS YEAR…DL PARISH WILL BE GOING THROUGH OFFENSIVE LINEMEN LIKE:
Sherman through Georgia
The Marines through the Japanese at Guadalcanal
Sam Houston’s army through Santa Ana’s soldiers at San Jacinto
Patton through France and Germany
Anyway you get the idea.

That was a seven month campaign. It looked easy at first but turned into a long ordeal, but it was the turning point of the war in the Pacific.

OK, back to football.

Maybe it took the Marines awhile but I stand by my metaphor. It may take Derek several plays but he will get to the q-back.
