Perhaps one of the best competitions this spring will come at left tackle where the Tigers must replace All-ACC performer Jackson Carman, who jumped to the NFL following the 2020 season.
That leaves an open competition between redshirt junior Jordan McFadden and sophomore Walker Parks. Last year, McFadden started at right tackle for the Tigers, while Parks was listed as Carman’s backup on the depth chart.
McFadden (6-2, 300) will likely start the spring at left tackle, but he and Parks will likely share equal reps at both left and right tackle as the coaches decide where the two fit the best on the offensive line.
