True Freshman OL ‘Going to Be an Incredible Player’
Veteran Clemson offensive lineman Walker Parks is bullish on the future of this true freshman offensive lineman.
Parks, a sixth-year senior, had plenty of praise for Gavin Blanchard, who is in his first year with the Tigers after enrolling early back in January.
“Gavin Blanchard – he’s probably not going to watch this, and I’ll never tell him this – but I think he’s going to be an incredible player,” Parks said during his media availability on Wednesday.
“I’m not going to boost his ego any more,” Parks added jokingly, “but I think he’s going to have an incredible career here.”
