Sparrow also runs track and says he may participate in both sports in college. He runs the 200m (21.22), 400 (47.63) and 500m (1:04:61).
Sparrow finished his senior season (9-2) with 37 receptions for over 700 yards and five touchdowns. Defensively, he had around 30 tackles and two interceptions.
Sparrow says he's thinking about majoring in engineering and reports a 2.9 core GPA and 840 SAT, which he'll retake on Dec. 6.
Sparrow: "I have good speed and the ability to break away from the defender. I have great agility and quickness to the ball.
"I'm athletic and I fight for the deep ball on defense. I'm very physical, but I want to improve my footwork and get up to the ball better. I also want to work on my hips when going up to find the ball."
