Parker chose the Vols over Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Louisville and Kentucky.
A 6-foot-5, 325-pound prospect, Parker is rated a 3-star by the 247Sports Composite. The Pearl-Cohn senior is also rated the No. 34 offensive tackle in his class, and No. 13 player in Tennessee.
Since Jeremy Pruitt’s arrival in Knoxville, UT has established an effort to bring big bodies to the offensive line. Parker fits this mold, with experience on both sides of the ball for the perennial 3A contender he plays for. Tennessee assistants Will Friend (offensive line) and Tee Martin (wide receivers) are Parker’s primary recruiters.
Tennessee has 26 commits in the class of 2021. The Vols’ 2021 class is ranked No. 6 in the country and No. 3 in the SEC.
