Sophomore (fourth season)

Fort Worth, Texas

He came to Weber State as a receiver in 2022 but everyone’s been waiting several years for his debut as a cornerback. Tre Parks-Vinson is ready to go one year after a non-injury medical issue pulled him out of fall camp and away from the 2024 season.

He was cleared in the spring to get back into the action.

“You never know when your last snap is, so take every snap, every moment, don’t take it for granted,” he said. “Just give it your all.

“I feel like it really built me into who I am today, just to believe in God, believe in the process, believe I’m here for a reason.”

He plans on doing big things on the field.

“I strongly believe I’m going to be a game-changer when we need that spark. I could make that spark for the whole defense, give us that energy off an interception, a big tackle, fumble. I feel like I can be that player.

Position coach Keilan Benjamin: “Tre’s got intangibles that most DBs gotta ask and pray for. He can jump 38-40 inches, 4.4 speed and ability to track a ball. He’s got a knack for the ball naturally; I call him my ‘pick artist’ out of the group.

“Tre is one of those dudes I lean on a lot. He’s been through a lot … and he’s one dude who’s going to change the season this year, for sure.”

Starting at $4.32/week.
