Former All-American Anthony Parker joined Georgia Tech’s football staff as a defensive analyst in 2019 and moved to the role of director of player development during the 2022 season.
Parker came to The Flats after three seasons as the offensive line coach at Norfolk State (2015-17). His coaching career also includes stints as an offensive quality control assistant at his alma mater, Tennessee (2013-14), and an offensive graduate assistant at Mississippi State (2011-12) and Morgan State (2009-10).
Parker helped Mississippi State reach two bowl games in his two seasons with the Bulldogs and helped lift Tennessee to a berth in the TaxSlayer Bowl following the 2014 season.
He was a four-year letterwinner and three-year starter on the offensive line at Tennessee from 2005-08, primarily at guard. He earned second-team Associated Press All-America recognition as a junior in 2007 and was a two-time all-Southeastern Conference selection (first-team in 2007, second-team in 2008).
A Jonesboro, Ga. native, Parker earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and sociology from Tennessee in 2008.
