After closing out his athletic career at Effingham High School as a defensive record-holder in football and one of the all-time leading scorers in basketball, Parker Wolfe plans to play college basketball at Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington.

Greg Sapp had the opportunity to talk with Parker after his signing ceremony in May...

As mentioned in the interview, Parker will have the opportunity to not only play in college where his oldest brother Grant played, but will get to play again with his brother Landon, who has transferred to Illinois Wesleyan from Minnesota State University. Grant, Landon and Parker were all 1,000+ point scorers at EHS, and Landon is the all-time career scorer. 

Parker plans to major in Accounting at Illinois Wesleyan. He is the son of David and Angie Wolfe. 

Parker also competes as a rodeo bull rider.
