Class of 2017 Stanford tight end commit Colby Parkinson received his game jersey for the US Army All-American Bowl at Oaks Christian High School (Westlake Village, Calif.) on Tuesday morning. Parkinson's presentation was one of a small handful just like it that kicked off Day 1 of the game's annual Selection Tour, which, in 2016, headed to 190 high schools in over 35 states.
