Robert Parker brings veteran free-safety instincts and playmaking juice to Hampton
In the 2006 season, Robert Parker was a productive, experienced free safety for Hampton, starting all 12 games and finishing fifth on the team with 50 tackles, plus 2.5 tackles for loss, one sack, one interception, one forced fumble, and two pass breakups. He stood out for making impact plays in big moments, including a key fourth-quarter interception at Bethune-Cookman that helped seal Hampton’s MEAC title run. At 6-1 and 215 pounds, with Virginia Tech pedigree, he profiles as a tough, versatile back-end defender who fits a team that wants range, physicality, and football IQ.
