Parker earns second team honors for the second straight year as the junior carries a 3.95 GPA while majoring in mathematics education. Earlier this spring, he was selected Conference Carolinas Scholar-Athlete of the Year presented by Hudl for men’s wrestling.

He won the NCAA Super Region 2 championship for the second straight year, taking the crown at 197 pounds in 2024-25. That qualified him for the NCAA Division II Wrestling National Championships as he finished the season with a 27-9 record and ranked 11th in the country at 197 pounds.

The 2024-25 Academic All-District® Men’s At-Large Teams, selected by College Sports Communicators, recognize the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III and NAIA.

The Division II and III CSC Academic All-America® programs are partially financially supported by the NCAA Division II and III national governance structures to assist CSC with handling the awards fulfillment aspects for the 2024-25 Divisions II and III Academic All-America® programs. The NAIA CSC Academic All-America® program is partially financially supported through the NAIA governance structure.
