LB Parker still leaning toward Clemson over Gamecocks

Beaufort (S.C.) LB Justin Parker continues to favor Clemson over South Carolina, but he’s still a long way from a decision, with three official visits yet to arrange.

Parker, who is 6-foot-2 and 225 pounds and ranked 12^th on our SC Top 25 Prospects list, is tentatively planning to take in the Tigers’ game with TCU Saturday.

Both schools have offered scholarships, along with East Carolina, Georgia Tech, Maryland, N.C. State, Wake Forest and many others. Parker thinks Oregon (those guys are all over the Carolinas these days), Rutgers and West Virginia will soon offer as well.

So far, he has set up official visits with the Tigers and Gamecocks, but has not narrowed down the two dozen or so schools that remain.
