Wondering why Navy is leading the nation in rushing average at 400 yards per game? Look no further than the middle of the offensive line where center Parker Wade has been an absolute warrior.
One year after losing his starting spot, Wade has become the bell cow of the offensive line, which has been nothing short of outstanding so far this season. Offensive coordinator Ivin Jasper and running game coordinator Ashley Ingram have both praised the performance of Wade, who has graded out highly in every game.
“Parker has played really well. He’s been played very hard and been a real factor inside,” said Ingram, who coaches the offensive line and personally tutors the centers and guards.
