Bo Bassett recruiting update: Micah Parsons gives Penn State pitch to top wrestling prospect
Dallas Cowboys star and Penn State alum Micah Parsons made his pitch to No. 1 wrestling recruit Bo Bassett Sunday.
With news that Bassett will announce his decision early this week, Parsons made a last ditch effort to try and convince Bassett to come wrestle for the Nittany Lions. Basically, Bassett would add generational talent to the already No. 1 Penn State wrestling team.
Parsons, a noted college wrestling fans especially of his alma mater, clearly wants Bassett to don the classic PSU singlet.
“After seeing Penn state domination it can’t be any other choice!!! We have the best environment and wrestling room in the country! That’s facts! Come join the greatest legacy ever created!!,” Parsons wrote on Twitter.
Bassett is MatScouts’ No. 1 overall prospect in the Class of 2026 and one of the most sought after prospects in recent memory. Recently, Bassett won his third Ironman title, this time at 144 pounds and had tech falls over six straight opponents.
As a reminder, here was the schedule of visits for Bassett throughout his recruitment:
Sep 20-22: Michigan
Oct 25-27: Iowa
Nov 1-3: Penn State
Nov 8-10: Ohio State
Nov 15-17: Virginia Tech
Nov 22-24: Oklahoma State
Jan 24-26: RutgersThe top prospect’s visits have been watched with close eyes as Bassett could be seen as a program changer, along with younger brothers Keegan Bassett (2028) and Melvin Miller (2027). All of them wrestle for Bishop McCort (Pa.), which is considered one of, if not the top high school wrestling team in the country this year.
Other top prospect Jax Forrest, who’s No. 2 pound for pound, is Bassett’s teammate. He revealed his top 10 schools back in September, but has not eliminated nor provided a recent update as he goes about his visits.
“Some wrestlers don’t like this process, but I can honestly say I am really enjoying it,” Bassett said in a previous newsletter. “My view is, I only get to do the recruiting process once, so I am going to enjoy it and have fun with it. I sometimes like to do things different and hope everyone likes these updates.
“When I was in elementary school, I would have done anything to follow along with Spencer Lee, Jason Nolf or Zain Retherford recruiting process.”
Bo Bassett, the top wrestling prospect in the nation, is receiving some high praise from a fellow Penn State standout. Micah Parsons, a star linebacker for the Nittany Lions football team, recently gave his pitch to Bassett about joining the Penn State wrestling program.In a recent interview, Parsons spoke highly of the wrestling program at Penn State and the opportunities it provides for student-athletes. He highlighted the strong coaching staff, the winning tradition, and the supportive community at Penn State.
Parsons also emphasized the benefits of being a student-athlete at Penn State, pointing to the world-class facilities, academic support, and networking opportunities available to student-athletes.
With Bassett being one of the most sought-after wrestling recruits in the country, it’s no surprise that Penn State is making a strong push to land him. And with Parsons’ endorsement, it’s clear that the Nittany Lions have a compelling pitch to offer the talented young wrestler.
It remains to be seen where Bassett will ultimately decide to take his talents, but with the backing of Micah Parsons and the Penn State wrestling program, the Nittany Lions are certainly in a strong position to land the standout prospect. Stay tuned for more updates on Bo Bassett’s recruitment process.

The Buffalo Bills once again saw their season end in heartbreaking fashion on Sunday as they fell to the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship game. The Bills are used to their season being ended by the Chiefs in this fashion at this point, but that didn’t make Sunday’s loss any easier. Buffalo had their chances to win the game, but they couldn’t find a way to get it done. It was the final game of the season, and it was also the final game of Micah Hyde’s career.
“This won’t come as a big surprise, but had a chance to talk with Micah Hyde today in the #Bills’ locker room,” Jay Skurski said in a post. “He said that he’s officially retiring and that his playing career is over.”
Micah Hyde has been in the NFL since 2013. He spent his college days at Iowa, and he was drafted in the fifth round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Green Bay Packers. Hyde spent four seasons in Green Bay before coming over to the Bills ahead of the 2017 season. He has been with Buffalo ever since, and he is now calling it a career.
Hyde only played in two games last season, so it was good to see him finish out his career in a year in which he played a lot. He appeared in 14 games this season and finished the year with 54 total tackles, seven passes defended and two interceptions.
This isn’t the way that Hyde or the Bills wanted to go out as they have lived this same postseason failure numerous times now. The Bills were once again one of the best teams in the NFL all year long, and it came down to a battle with the Chiefs in the playoffs. They were close, but Kansas City is the team that is going to the Super Bowl.
Micah Hyde had a great career, and while he didn’t go out a Super Bowl champion like he wanted, he still finished things out strong in what was a memorable season for the Bills.
Buffalo Bills safety Micah Hyde has announced his final retirement decision following the team’s heartbreaking loss in the AFC Championship Game.In a heartfelt post on social media, Hyde expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to play the game he loves at the highest level. He thanked his teammates, coaches, and fans for their unwavering support throughout his career.
After much reflection and consideration, Hyde has decided to hang up his cleats and retire from professional football. He cited a desire to spend more time with his family and pursue other interests outside of the game.
Hyde leaves behind a legacy of hard work, dedication, and leadership both on and off the field. He will be remembered as a fierce competitor and a true team player who always gave his all for the Bills.
While fans may be saddened by Hyde’s retirement, they can take solace in knowing that he will always be a part of the Bills family. Thank you, Micah Hyde, for your contributions to the team and best of luck in all your future endeavors. #GoBills

Bills S Micah Hyde To Retire
Micah Hyde flirted with retirement in 2024, eventually confirming he would only return to the Bills if he opted to continue his career. Buffalo kept the door open and eventually called on Hyde as insurance. Though, the team did not opt to turn to that insurance policy when a significant safety injury occurred.
The Bills did not elevate Hyde from their practice squad for the AFC championship game; Sean McDermott confirmed the team would not do so despite Taylor Rapp‘s hip injury in the divisional round. With Hyde spending his final season in Buffalo on the practice squad, he confirmed (via the Buffalo News’ Jay Skurski) he will retire.Hyde said as much upon rejoining the Bills in early December. The Bills had split up one of the longest-tenured safety tandems of the free agency era in March, cutting Jordan Poyer and not re-signing Hyde. Poyer joined the Dolphins, but Hyde remained in Buffalo as a backup plan. Although the Bills centered their 2024 safety setup around Rapp and Damar Hamlin, they added Hyde to their P-squad for the stretch run. Hyde effectively replaced the seldom-used Mike Edwards — released midseason — but did not log any appearances in his 12th season.
This season obviously does not best encapsulate Hyde’s run in Buffalo. The former Packers draftee played a central role in the team’s McDermott-era rise. Signed to midlevel deals in McDermott’s first offseason in charge, weeks before Brandon Beane came aboard as GM, Hyde and Poyer started together for seven seasons (a 2022 Hyde injury did interfere during that stretch).
Each Buffalo safety earned at least one All-Pro honor, giving the Bills reliable back-line deterrence. The Bills made the playoffs six times during the Hyde-Poyer pair’s seasons together. Although the perennial AFC East champions have run into a rough trend of seeing their top cornerbacks unavailable for Chiefs matchups in the playoffs, the team was regularly able to count on its Hyde-Poyer duo for years.
Hyde, who turned 34 in December, made 95 starts with the Bills. Among Buffalo safeties, that ranks behind only Poyer (107), 1990s bastion Henry Jones (129) and all-time leader Steve Freeman (134). The Iowa alum earned two second-team All-Pro nods — in 2017 and 2021. Each season featured five Hyde interceptions. He added another pick in a 2021 wild-card rout of the Patriots.
A fifth-round Packers pick, Hyde yo-yoed as a starter in Green Bay. The Bills gave him a five-year, $30.5MM deal in March 2017 and later extended him in 2021 (two years, $19.25MM). While Hyde never became a top-market safety, he did well for himself as a pro by crossing the $50MM mark in career earnings during the 2023 season. Overall, Hyde has earned more than $53MM as a pro.
Hyde came back from a season-ending neck injury, one that gave Hamlin his first batch of starts before the latter’s terrifying injury in Cincinnati, to start alongside Poyer in the 2023 season. But the Bills drafted Cole Bishop in the 2024 second round; the Utah product became their No. 3 safety this season. Rapp’s new deal locks him down through the 2026 season, while Bishop could be in line to replace Hamlin as a starter — should the free agent-to-be leave Buffalo in March.
In a shocking turn of events, Buffalo Bills safety Micah Hyde has announced his decision to retire from the NFL. Hyde, who has been a key player for the Bills since joining the team in 2017, made the announcement via social media, thanking his teammates, coaches, and fans for their support throughout his career.The 31-year-old Pro Bowl safety cited personal reasons for his decision to retire, stating that he wants to focus on spending more time with his family and pursuing other interests outside of football. Hyde’s retirement comes as a surprise to many, as he was coming off another strong season with the Bills and was expected to be a key player for the team in the upcoming season.
During his time with the Bills, Hyde was known for his leadership on and off the field, as well as his playmaking ability in the secondary. He finishes his career with 24 interceptions, 5 forced fumbles, and 418 tackles.
The Bills will now have to find a replacement for Hyde in their secondary, as they look to build on their success from last season. Fans and teammates alike will surely miss Hyde’s presence on the field, but they wish him all the best in his future endeavors.

Bengals QB Joe Burrow Receives HUGE Praise Cowboys Stars Micah Parsons & Trevon Diggs
CINCINNATI — The Bengals might be 7-8 this season, but Joe Burrow is playing arguably the best ball of his career.
Burrow has completed 68.9% of his passes for 4,229 yards and 39 touchdowns. He broke his own Bengals record for touchdown passes and is the first quarterback in team history to top the 4,000-yard passing mark in three different seasons.
While Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson are getting most of the MVP buzz, Cowboys stars Micah Parsons and Trevon Diggs think Burrow belongs in the conversation. They Dallas duo discussed the Bengals star on the latest episode of The Edge With Micah Parsons.
“You know who I think should get some MVP love? Joe Shiesty,” Diggs said. “He’s amazing bro.”
“When I played Joe Burrow this last time, this was a whole different Joe Burrow,” Parsons said. “The anticipation, his IQ, pre-snap awareness, scrambling. This version of Joe Burrow is the best quarterback in the NFL … He’s the best quarterback in the NFL.”
Burrow led the Bengals to a 27-20 win over the Cowboys earlier this month.
