The defensive tackle from Detroit hasn't played with his twin on game day yet.
In the cruelest of college football fates, Jayvon Parker has had to go it alone at the University of Washington for long periods without his twin brother and fellow defensive tackle, Armon, standing beside him.
Meantime, Jayvon Parker has had to navigate his way through Husky football largely on his own, maybe feeling a little cheated or guilty that it's been just him, and not them, experiencing all of the good times of championship games, bowl games and playing time. No. 94 has made great strides, 95 not so much.Jayvon Parker and Sebastian Valdez were used as the No. 1 defensive tackles for much of spring ball.
For 15 spring practices, Jayvon Parker and Sebastian Valdez more often than not were the No. 1 defensive tackles. Jayvon proved to be more of an athletic and deceptive guy in fighting his way through opposing blockers and Valdez, the Montana State transfer, showed himself to be a definite strongman. They seem to complement each other with their different playing styles.
