WEEK 2 STATS: 13 total tackles (5 solo), 5.5 TFL, 1.0 sack, 1 QBH
Parvelus spearheaded a stifling defensive effort that limited Valparaiso to 11 rush yards in a runaway 42-14 victory. Taking up a residence in Valpo’s backfield, the junior linebacker recorded 5.5 hits for a loss en-route to logging a career-high 13 tackles. Parvelus’ stat line also included 1.0 sack and one quarterback hurry. The Massachusetts product wasted no time in making an impact, derailing Valparaiso’s opening possession of the contest. With Valpo facing a 1st-and-10 at its 49-yard line, Parvelus dropped the ball carrier behind the line of scrimmage on back-to-back plays to force a punt two snaps later. He snuffed out a screen pass later in the first quarter, pushing Valpo back into a 2nd-and-12 situation. All 13 of Parvelus’ tackles stopped the opponent shy of the first down marker.
