View Full Profile sometimes seems to be lost in the discussion. However, with the change in defensive coordinator, Parker may emerge as a contributor.

“Brent [Venables] is really excited about him,” said Dabo Swinney. “He really likes his upside. He thinks he is fluid, great instincts. He feels like he can play any of the three positions which is very encouraging because we certainly need Justin to come on and be the kind of guy we all hoped he could be.”
