Daniel Parker was one of Missouri’s top recruits in its 2018 signing class, and he’s a good enough athlete that he not only believes he can switch positions, but sports.
“In his mind, he can go play for Cuonzo,” said MU football coach Barry Odom, who doesn’t want the freshman leaving the football offices for Mizzou Arena. “He can’t. He was a good basketball player, though.”
The Tigers are hoping he will be a good tight end, too. The 6-foot-4, 260-pound Parker did not play the position in high school but has recently begun practicing it for Missouri.
