Four-star EDGE Tomarrion Parker of Phenix City (Ala.) Central High is down to four schools– Penn State, Clemson, Tennessee, and Texas A&M.

The 6-foot-4, 245 pounder will announce his college decision on November 21.

He went in-depth on his finalists with On3.

Penn State

“Me and coach Scott still have a great bond and the communication is daily with the staff.”

Clemson

“Clemson has been there from the start, and has held a great bond with my family for a long time,” Parker said. “They produce DE the best in CFB and the scheme is perfect.”

Tennessee 

“Tennessee is my hometown,” Parker said. “Coach Chop and coach Garner have done a great job with the DLine. Heupel is turning UT back to its glory days.”

Texas A&M

“Me and coach Robinson are from the same place, and that is very important to me when it comes to recruiting,” Parker said. “They were one of my first offers and have been showing me how they’d use me if I were to come.”

Tomarrion Parker Scouting Summary 

“Productive player as a junior for state champion runner-ups in Alabama’s highest classification,” On3’s Director of Scouting Charles Power wrote. “The definition of an active player. Totaled 23 tackles for loss and 9.5 sacks as a junior. Consistently chases backside and is constantly in pursuit of the football. Polished pass rusher as well that has extremely active hands and understands how to use leverage to his advantage. Registers as a good, but not elite athlete in the combine setting and looks to lack high-end length at the position. One of the highest floors in the class due to being so technically sound and refined as both a run defender and pass rusher.”

Parker ranks as the No. 78 player in the On3 Consensus, a complete and equally weighted industry-generated average that accounts for all four major recruiting sites. He also tabs in as the No. 12 EDGE and the No. 9 player in the state of Alabama.
