Clemson Football: Kyle Parker

Kyle Parker’s football fans appear to be all clear for celebrating. Kyle’s  announcement was made today regarding his decision to return to college football and forgo the option of playing right field in the Colorado Rockies organization. Parker did say that he has only ruled out playing exclusively for the Rockies and that other options remain on the table. For Clemson football fans, this could really be a reason to celebrate as Parker was a star and now they get him back for more.

As a red-shirt freshman, Parker set records on the football field as the starting quarterback and was a dominate force on the baseball field with his bat. He threw for a record 20 touchdown passes while hitting 20 homeruns as a baseball player. He currently remains the only Division I athlete to accomplish this feat. Clemson footbal coach Dabo Swinney held nothing back when he learned of Parker’s decision.

Not only is it rare for an athlete to try to play two sports in college, only a few have tried it, it’s even more rare to find a gem who has managed to put a value on his education like Parker has. The Colorado Rockies drafted Parker in the first round but thus far negotiations have come to a halt. Parker still has options to sign with the Rockies and play only in the summer but he will most likely have to lessen the amount he has requested as a signing bonus. Clemson football fans should be in for one sweet treat with Parker’s decision to return to the football field.
