CLEMSON – TJ Parker plans to cook on and off the field this year.
Parker, Clemson’s sophomore defensive end, fashioned a stellar freshman campaign with 41 tackles (12.5 for loss), 5.5 sacks, two pass breakups and a fumble recovery in 457 snaps over 13 games (three starts). His 12.5 tackles for loss in 2023 broke Clemson's true freshman record (12.0 by Myles Murphy in 2020) and tied for the national lead among freshmen.
His sights are set on an even better second season, but he still finds time to relax by making his favorite foods.
