Currently: The 15th-ranked Air Force Falcons face one of their biggest-ever games this week against Notre Dame, and Anthony Park will be right in the thick of it. A junior wide receiver for the Falcons, Park is seeing significant time for Fisher DeBerry's squad. Park has hauled in six passes for 91 yards in the Falcons' run-heavy offense. Park also competes for the Air Force track team, where he placed fourth in the triple jump at the Mountain West Outdoor Championships last year with a jump of 50 feet, 2 inches. As a freshman, Park won both the long jump and triple jump events at the Mountain West Indoor Championships.

Looking back: While playing for the Wildcats, Park earned All-State honors as a wide receiver. He also made a name for himself in track by winning state titles in the long jump and the triple jump. Park was a four-year letter winner in track and a two-year letter winner in football.
