San Jose State’s Parry to Play in Shrine Game

Neil Parry, the San Jose State player who returned to football after part of his leg was amputated, was added to the West roster for the West in the East-West Shrine Game. He is expected to see limited time on special teams in the Jan. 10 game at San Francisco.

Parry played on the punt-return team for the Spartans this season, three years after he broke his right leg against Texas El Paso on Oct. 14, 2000. Serious infections developed, and his leg was amputated below the knee.
