The Storm went 17-4 during the stretch, including a perfect 10-0 run through the regular season and an Iowa Conference Championship in 1996. In Simpson’s championship season, Parrott earned first team all-region and First Team All-America honors from the American Football Coaches Association. He was a first team all-conference performer and added Third Team All-America accolades from the Division III Sports Information Directors. He also served as a team captain in 1996, leading the team with 64 solo tackles and creating five turnovers (three fumbles and two interceptions). He went on to participate in the first annual Division III All-Star Classic at the conclusion of the year. He was a second-team all-conference performer in 1995 and earned Iowa Conference Player of the Week honors twice during his career. He graduated from Simpson with a degree in elementary education and is currently a 6th grade literacy teacher at Hiatt Middle School in Des Moines, Iowa.
