Alamo Country
Carey Parker, (far left)
Today we learned of San Antonio Central Catholic’s Carey Parker. He’s another big lineman at 6-6 and 290 pounds and he was second team all-state… in Texas!
Parker’s highlight reel is the most impressive video I’ve ever seen from an offensive lineman.
Parker appears to be the first ever San Antonio Central Catholic HS player to come to Columbia football. He may have played against rising junior Ryan Murphy, who played for Alamo Heights in San Antonio.
In all of Columbia history, only one or two football players have come out of San Antonio, but since Coach Greg Sigler took over that area as his recruiting region we’ve had three players out of that football-rich town in Murphy, Chase McCaleb ’10, and now Parker.
Parker and yesterday’s revelation Chris Proctor may ease the blow if reports of Maryland’s Joe Kopp de-committing are true. (I still have no confirmation on that).
I failed to mention that Proctor appears to be just the second Pine Crest School player to come to the Lions. The last, and only other one, was Walter Haynie ’89.
Remember, you can see all the documented high school feeder schools for Lion football over the decades on my LionFeeders Blog. I will add the members of the class of 2015 when they are officially named by the athletic department.

One player the football team is NOT getting is Denver area football and baseball standout Jordan Serena. Serena told the Denver Post he’s coming to Columbia to play baseball only.
Perhaps that’s a good move, he’s currently batting .539.

Jake, correction, Corey Parker is on the far left.
All I can say is WOW! That is one big road grader. Our incoming OLs are tall; at least three of them are 6'6".
I'd like the young man in the middle to play NT for us.
"Parker’s highlight reel is the most impressive video I’ve ever seen from an offensive lineman. "
Jake, lets be honest, please just go watch the seantrel henderson highlight tape from last year
Correction to correction: make that "Carey" Parker, but still on far left...wondering why Jake hasn't changed it yet.
Parker is #75 in the highlight reel. He's the guy the defenders are running away from.
Looks good the video. To the person that made the comment him being a NT, based on the video he is too slow to be a NT.
4.9 forty isn't too slow; hard to tell how fast he is from the video.
who is Sentrel Henderson?
Can't be too wowed by the video. Guys blocking against a bunch a guys that look like they weigh 185lbs. Must be playing in a real small school classification to be that much larger than anyone on the field. Could also explain the 2nd team all state credit too. When you look at video you gotta really look, film doesn't lie. But hey, you can't teach big and hopefully the coaches do a good job of developing this young man a turning him into a true beast for the Lions.
I'm impressed with all five of our incoming offensive linemen. Hard to tell who is the best of the lot, because they are all darn good. Anyone have the names of any additional defensive linemen who are not on Jake's List? Any transfers other than Childress? Any possible walk-ons?
I once spent three years in San Antonio. Best high school football I have ever seen.

this video is pathetic. he looks like he's blocking 12 year olds. im sure he's a solid o lineman, but i agree with the 4th poster. definitely not the most impressive video ever, not even close
The comments on the size of Parker's opponents are too funny!! When you're the size of a house, 99% of the population looks small. I'll take the big fella!!!
Parker played for the TAPPS division in Texas. This is the private school division in Texas, and the private schools (generally) are not nearly as competative as the public school divisions. This would help explain the childish size of the competition, since it is not Texas 5A football or 4A football.
I think the division Parker played in is the same as CU QB Bell's - and Bell started in the state's top high school all-star game after some astounding statistical seasons. Bell has come a long way, judging by the sprng game. And who knows what he might have become if he hadn't been playing behind Brackett. But his history suggests there's Texas football and there's Texas private school football. Parker has the size, and CU has the coaching; time will tell what kind of college player he'll become. Let's hope he can step to a muc higher level of competition and be another Adams quality lineman!
