Sparrow is listed as a wide receiver by 247Sports. He stars on both sides of the ball for Davis High School and he could play on either side of the ball at the next level. Sparrow was being heavily recruited by Jay Hill before he left for Michigan, so it's no surprise that Sparrow was one of the first players that Hill offered once he got to Ann Arbor.

Even though Jay Hill is gone, that hasn't kept BYU from prioritizing Sparrow. It's no surprise that both BYU and Michigan are among his list of finalists.

In terms of national rankings, Sparrow ranks third nationally among wide receivers in the 247Sports composite rankings. He ranks 67th overall.
