Parkey's been in the fold for a while. He committed when Tommy Tuberville was the coach. The 6-foot-2, 195-pound kicker from Jupiter, Fla., is Rivals' No. 6 overall kicker and Scout's No. 2. He struggled in an all-star game recently, missing a pair of extra points and a gimme field goal, but he's a pretty good talent. He made field goals of 51 and 55 yards as a junior.
I can't imagine Parkey playing right away, with senior Wes Byrum entrenched at the position after a solid year. But Parkey appears to be the place-kicker-in-waiting.
Have a look at his highlight video:

Goodwin wavered a bit on his commitment but re-committed in December.
Here's Scout.com South Region analyst Chad Simmons' take on him:
"Goodwin is one of the fastest prospects in the state of Georgia and that is what makes him a top recruit. He is a vertical threat, he is explosive, and he is someone that can make a big play downfield at any time. He needs to work on his route running and catching the ball more consistent. He has great length (6-2), he goes up for jump balls well, and his best ball is ahead of him."
