Parsons had initially swerved the live audience with his video by turning down the Penn State shirt when offered. However, at the end of the video, Parsons announced he was staying home and was indeed committing to the Nittany Lions.
Parsons was previously committed to Penn State before decommitting back in April.
The decision comes after rumors that Ohio State had to cease recruiting Parsons due to recruiting violations. Parsons denied those rumors, and it really didn't matter as Penn State was trending as the leader in his recruitment in recent weeks anyways.
Parsons is rated as a five-star and the No. 4 overall recruit in the nation by the 247Sports Composite.
