Expert Analysis
Will Helms | Prep Redzone Scout
While he played all over the place for Dudley, Parker’s recovery speed and range make him an ideal free safety candidate at the next level. It’s not just that he has good speed, it’s that he doesn’t hesitate on the back end. When the ball is in the air, he breaks and he breaks quickly. Elsewhere, he was used in the slot (both offensively and defensively) and as a return man. If he were two inches taller and 20 pounds heavily, he’d be an FBS prospect. As it is, he needs to be a late offer for an FCS school.

Parker mirrors receivers well and isn’t afraid to make risky breaks on the ball. He has the acceleration and speed to make those decisions count and he was rewarded with nine pass breakups and two interceptions as a junior. He operated mostly in the slot last season, but could see more action at outside corner as a senior.

Read EvaluationWill Helms | Prep Redzone Scout
Parker has been fantastic as a cover guy this year with five interceptions in six games. He’s added a few pass breakups and 31 tackles and he’s returned an interception for a touchdown. He’s facing top receivers week in and week out on one of the state’s top defenses.
