Freshman defensive end TJ Parker has made an impression with his play on the field this season, but people have also taken notice of his unusual headgear, a newer-style helmet that makes him stand out.
Parker has played 140 snaps this season and leads the team in both tackles for loss (7.5) and sacks (3) and is sixth on the team with 18 tackles.
Parker wears the Riddell Axiom helmet, a helmet he wanted to wear in high school but didn’t order until he arrived at Clemson. And he knows the helmet’s profile makes him stand out on the field.
