Clemson Star Confirms His Return
By: cameronburnett December 27, 2024

The sophomore phenom is coming back for Year 3.

Clemson defensive end TJ Parker took a strong freshman season and upped the ante with a dominant year in 2024. He was a second-team All-ACC player with a career-high 11 sacks, wrecking games on his own.

In this era of college football, there’s always worry that stars could leave but Parker shared a message to curb any of those thoughts.

 

Parker set the tone in the ACC Championship with a strip sack on the first drive of the game, leading to a Clemson touchdown on a short field. He also added a total of 19.5 tackles for loss throughout the year.

The Tigers defense is at its best when Parker is on the field and if the trajectory continues, he’ll be a nightmare for offensive lines in 2025.
