LSU head coach Ed Orgeron announced on Wednesday that redshirt freshman defensive end Ray Parker is suspended indefinitely for a violation of team rules.
No additional details were disclosed.
Parker, a 6-foot-5, 270-pound defensive end from Ruston High in Ruston, La., was a four-star recruit in the 2019 class. He played tight end in high school and transitioned to outside linebacker in his first year with the Tigers.
Here’s a look at Parker’s bio from the LSU website.

“Played tight end at Ruston High, but is expected to make the switch to tackle once he joins the Tigers … Caught 22 passes for 360 yards and three touchdowns during his senior season … Has the physical tools and footwork needed to make the switch to tackle … Rated as the nation’s No. 14 offensive tackle prospect … Named to the 2018 All-USA Louisiana Football Team as an offensive tackle … Coached by Jerrod Baugh.”
He was expected to play defensive end in new defensive coordinator Bo Pelini’s 4-3 scheme.
