Tyler Parker is a name that we’ll be talking about for years to come.
I can’t remember a kid coming out of Orange County with his combination of size, speed, and athleticism at 14 YEARS OLD.
Can’t wait to catch a game at Santa Margarita this upcoming season!
Watched Maae in person at UCD/Montana this season. Hard to keep your eyes off a player with his size + AA.
6020, 340 lb space-eating NG w/ solid initial quickness and explosion at the snap. Strong power base to hold the POA and maintain A-gap discipline.
Legit P4 prospect.
