Parker Getter brings size, polish, and high-school pedigree to SIU’s offensive line
In the 2026 season, Parker Getter is a 6-foot-6, 305-pound offensive tackle for Southern Illinois who arrives with a strong prep résumé: First-Team All-State, First-Team All-District 6, and Lineman of the Year, plus back-to-back deep playoff runs in high school. He redshirted after appearing in one game in 2024, so the upside here is development, not box-score noise. The appeal is obvious: NFL-sized frame, proven competitiveness, and a program that clearly values his growth curve. He looks like a good fit if a team wants a long-term tackle project with upside and toughness, not an instant-stat-sheet headline-maker.
