When asked to name one offensive lineman that he believes will have a breakout season and be a pleasant surprise in 2021, Clemson rising sophomore tackle Walker Parks didn’t hesitate.
“Hunter Rayburn,” Parks said, singling out the redshirt sophomore center.
Entering spring practice, the center position was one of the biggest question marks for the Tigers, who are tasked with finding a new starter to fill that role following the departure of last year’s starter, Cade Stewart.
However, Rayburn looks like he may be the answer for Clemson at center based upon the rave reviews he has drawn so far this spring, whether the praise is coming from head coach Dabo Swinney, offensive coordinator Tony Elliott or fellow offensive linemen like Parks.
