Cobb is listed as a 6-foot-1, 190-pound prospect and is considered a top-200 safety. He's also tabbed as a top-30 player out of Missouri, per 247Sports. Parker measures at 6-foot, 170 pounds and is ranked as the No. 31 player out of Missouri.
Both Cobb and Parker were previously committed to UNLV, following new coach Barry Odom to Purdue. These are significant additions for the Boilermakers, as they had just six players sign their National Letter of Intent during the Early Signing Period.
From the STL to WL!
