But sites Tigernet.com and CUTigers.com, as well as WJBF-TV 6 ABC affiliate in Augusta, Ga., where the family resides Parker said Wednesday morning that, according to several sources, Parker will return to play football, this season.
There was no confirmation from the Clemson family, or Parker.
By e-mail this morning from the Clemson sports information director Tim Bourret said: "Coach (Dabo) Swinney called me this evening and said that he talked with Kyle Parker, who informed him of his decision late this evening. Kyle would like to make a statement and he will make a statement through me for some time on Wednesday. This will be my last e-mail in the night. "
Choosing Parker was the biggest guessing game on campus since last football season ended with freshman defender of the transfer for 20 touchdowns and 2,556 meters, as Clemson reached the Atlantic Coast Conference title game.
Parker is also the success of baseball, reaching 20 home runs as the Tigers advanced to the College World Series. Rockies have chosen Parker ? 26 total higher than most experts expected.
Parker took a break after the abolition of Clemson in Omaha. But, knowing his football team needs closure, he set July 20 date to decide.
"I'll probably be out watering my lawn at midnight, when he calls," Swinney said earlier Tuesday.
If Parker comes back, it's an instant boost offense, which no longer had three record-setters last season in Tailback CJ Spiller, receiver Jacoby Ford and tight end Michael Palmer.
Parker gives us an opportunity to be truly explosive early, "Swinney said. If Parker to jump into professional baseball, Swinney will have a choice between 2 backups who never completed college are in the senior Michael Wade and freshman Tajh Boyd.
Boyd is recognized as the prospect who rejected the Ohio and Oregon, to join the Tigers. Swinney and offensive coordinator Billy Napier Boyd probably get another year of training to attack Parker in management. Nevertheless, they can not get that luxury. "Boy, I love that these 14 games of experience" from 2009 years ago, said Napier.
Wade played defender in high school, but already twice shifted to the protection of the last four to find a place for playing. He was a regular on special teams last autumn, it likely will be again if Parker returned, "said Napier.
Swinney, Napier and staff did not want to be on the drama, anyway. "I would be lying if I said that we did not expect to know," Tiger offensive line coach Brad Scott said.
Kyle Parker was untested products Cup last summer, beating off local favorite Willy Korn, to earn a starting job. Korn, popular public defender winning the championship in the next Burns High School before signing with Clemson, Marshall transferred to this off-season.
Swinney said that the potential Parker can be just as hard in the NFL. Parker and the Rocky Mountains may not be willing to take the chance that he would have made it through another football season injured.
In any case, the decision of Parker will Swinney and Tigers of the world mean that front. Swinney said the players were patient, the absence of Parker of flight skills and training, and would like to get it back.
"If not, hey, it does not affect anything that went on this summer," Swinney said. "People can move on and we can have some closure on it."
