It is kind of weird but it could be insurance in case we dont land a TE. Maybe its a walk on. Who knows.... we are offering several new guys it seems that are no-name guys. Theres usually a reason

FWIW pretty sure Parker was #3 on ya'lls TE board after Ford & Wood-Anderson (Saint might correct me on that). Bama's always liked him but have felt decent about landing one of those other 2. AU sort of forced Bama's hand because they were ready to take his commitment & signature for early signing period & it's not completely certain ya'll get Ford or Wood-Anderson. My bet is they offered Parker to ensure they get someone high on their board & will probably have him gray or blue shirt if ya'll end up snagging Ford or Wood-Anderson. Dude is Tide to his core so I have no doubt he would take an offer under those considerations if given the chance

Just my opinion from outside looking in
