Four-star South Oak Cliff DE Steven Parker decommits from Texas Tech

Steven Parker is back on the market.

The four-star defensive end out of South Oak Cliff backed out of his verbal commitment to Texas Tech on Saturday evening.

Parker announced his decision via Twitter.

Parker originally committed to Texas Tech last year. He holds offers from Baylor, Minnesota, Purdue, SMU, TCU and UTSA.

Parker was named the District 11-5A Defensive MVP as a junior and helped lead South Oak Cliff to the third round of the playoffs this season.

At 6-foot-4, 220 pounds, Parker is ranked as the No. 21 weak-side defensive end and No. 346 overall prospect in the country.

Texas Tech is down to 16 commits in its 2019 recruiting class.
