NC State redshirt junior linebacker Jayland Parker has become the second player who intends to enter the transfer portal.
The 6-foot-1, 221-pounder played in 34 career games at NC State. He had 13 tackles and one pass broken up in 113 defensive plays the last four years. His big moment came when starting middle linebacker Caden Fordham was ejected after targeting against Western Carolina at the start of the game. Parker came in and played 48 snaps and had seven tackles.
Parker joins sophomore wide receiver Kevin Concepcion in planning to enter the transfer portal.
NC State landed Parker in the class of 2020 out of Macon (Ga.) Westside High. He was a Rivals.com three-star prospect, who was ranked No. 66 overall in Georgia and No. 43 at outside linebacker nationally.
Parker originally picked Colorado over NC State, but then he decommitted and eventually verbally committed to the Wolfpack over Arizona. He had offers from NC State, Arizona, Cincinnati, Colorado, Duke, Houston, Kansas, Louisville, Minnesota, Mississippi State, Pittsburgh, Purdue, Rutgers, Virginia, Virginia Tech and Wake Forest.
Additionally, Akron, Central Michigan, Coastal Carolina, Colorado State, East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Georgia Southern, Georgia State, Jacksonville State, Liberty, Middle Tennessee State, South Alabama, Troy and Western Kentucky offered.
