A supremely talented edge rusher, Clemson’s T.J. Parker was recognized by ESPN this week as one of the nation’s best.
A panel of ESPN reporters ranked the best pass rushers in college football for the 2025 season, and Parker collected 69 points (three of 10 first-place votes), trailing only South Carolina’s Dylan Stewart (94 points; six of 10 first-place votes).
Parker followed up a freshman All-American selection in 2023 with an outstanding sophomore season in 2024, when he earned second-team All-ACC honors after tallying 64 tackles, 19.5 tackles for loss, 11 sacks and six forced fumbles.
