Parks on freshman tackle Blake Miller: 'He's trying to knock a dude's head off'

CLEMSON – One of Clemson’s talented freshman offensive linemen is making a push for a starting spot.

Last year’s starting right tackle, Walker Parks, met with the media following Thursday’s practice at Jervey Meadows and said that he’s been taking half of his reps at tackle and half of his reps at right guard. Why? Freshman Blake Miller is making a push to play right away.

Miller is a 6-6, 317-pounder out of Strongsville (OH) who came to Clemson as one of the top-ranked tackles in the nation. In 352 pass attempts as a junior and senior, Miller didn’t allow a sack from his left tackle spot.
