Clemson Tigers Snapshot Profile: No. 64 Walker Parks
Heading into the 2022 season, ClemsonWire will look at multiple players on the Clemson football roster.
Over the preseason, each profile will cover where the player is from, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school and what role they will play for head coach Dabo Swinney this season.
For this profile, we will take a closer look at offensive lineman Walker Parks.
Parks enters his third season with the Tigers after earning the starting role at right tackle back in 2021. The offensive tackle was one of just four Tigers on both offense and defense last season to start all 13 games.
In his rookie season back in 2020, Parks earned ESPN Freshman All-America honors as a key reserve player for the Tigers.
Here’s a snapshot look at Walker Parks.
