Jahki Parrinello heads to the Bulldogs following a strong freshman campaign at Allan Hancock College, where he appeared in 31 games and made 28 starts. The 6-foot guard averaged 8.2 points, 3.3 rebounds, and 2.6 assists while earning All-Western State Conference Honorable Mention. His top outing came against MiraCosta with 18 points on 53.3 percent shooting, along with five rebounds and two assists. Known for his court vision and steady approach, Parrinello brings a true point guard mentality shaped by his New York City basketball roots.

A product of the well-regarded Our Savior Lutheran program, Parrinello has impressed with his resilience and maturity. Coach Worley says, “Jahki has taken a circuitous route to Kirksville but kept a positive outlook throughout. He’s a pass-first point guard in a long line of New York City guards who know how to facilitate for others. We’re excited to welcome him to the Bulldog family.”
