Having The Body Of A "Giant", 14-Year-Old American Football Player Goes Viral, Now Is Flooded With Offers
JAKARTA - An American Football player, Tyler Parker, has received an offer from a leading university. The offer came after the video on social media went viral.
Tyler Parker has sent shockwaves with his video. In the video, the 14-year-old teenager is already six feet tall and weighs 134kg!
That posture makes him heavier than NFL star Aaron Donald.
In his upload on social media Twitter, Parker claims to be able to benchpress an impressive 136kg and deadlift an impressive 188kg. He also clocked 4.9 seconds during the 40-yard dash, making him incredibly fast for a player of his size.
Parker, a sophomore from Santa Margarita High School, was just as impressive in his studies. Currently, he has an average grade of 3.36. That's according to his Twitter page.
The CEO of the International Recruitment and Placement Platform for American Football Players, Brandon Collier, said Parker "could be the number one DT (defensive tackle) in the 2025 class".
All of this has made him the target of several top universities and colleges in the United States. Arizona Wildcats, Portland State, Incarnate Word, and Virginia University of Lynchberg are reported to have offered it, along with the University of Mississippi, Texas A&M, and Louisiana State University.
Parker also caught the attention of Ryan Vidales, a former University of Oregon recruiter. Vidales wrote on Twitter, "Tyler Parker is a name we will be talking about for years to come."
"I can't remember a kid coming out of Orange County with a combination of size, speed and athleticism at 14. Can't wait to see the game at Santa Margarita next season!" he continued.
While he has yet to make a decision on his next move, Parker looks confident he has a bright future in sport wherever he is.
