That Twitter handle has never been more fitting.

Will Parks, a former Arizona Wildcats standout who came to the desert from Philadelphia, is set to join his hometown team by signing a one-year deal with the Philadelphia Eagles.

Versatile #Broncos safety Will Parks, a Philly native, is heading home. Parks is signing with the #eagles on a 1 year deal per source. Parks had a lot of interest from around the league over the last few weeks.

The 6-foot-1, 195-pound Parks—whose Twitter handle is @PhillyWill11—played the past four seasons with the Denver Broncos, who took him in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He started 15 games with Denver, including seven last season when he had 35 tackles, an interception and a forced fumble.

Parks played for Arizona from 2012-15, starting 31 games and earning defensive MVP honors from the Wildcats’ win over Boston College in the 2013 AdvoCare V100 Bowl in Shreveport, La.

He also provided UA fans with one of the best highlight-reel hits in program history when he nearly ended Oregon State wide receiver Jordan Villamin over the middle in October 2015:
