Jackson Prep (MS) Offensive Lineman Matthew Parker Commits to Baylor

BAYLOR 2025 RECRUITING COMMITMENT LIST

The 6-foot-7, 300-pound prospect spent all day Saturday in Waco as he went to camp in the morning and then VIB Day in the afternoon. While at camp he followed Baylor offensive line coach Mason Miller as he took campers through drills. He did not compete at camp but was able to spend a lot of time with Miller and the rest of the staff.

Ultimately, it was enough to get him to flip his commitment.

He was offered by the Baylor staff on June 11th just a day after he gave his pledge to Vanderbilt. He then took an official visit to Baylor on June 22nd.

Parker has a very high ceiling due to his frame and the fact that he has only been playing football for a couple of years. That upside is a big reason Baylor offensive line coach Mason Miller and the rest of the staff prioritized him and got him on his second visit in the last month.

He chose Baylor over offers from Florida State, USF, Troy, Houston, Vanderbilt, Memphis and Duke among others.

Parker is a consensus three-star prospect and is ranked as a top 20 prospect in the state of Mississippi.
