Parker played for Tennessee from 2005-08 and made 38 career starts, mostly at guard. He earned first-team all-Southeastern Conference honors in 2007 and was a second-team all-conference pick in 2008.

Parker worked as a graduate assistant at Morgan State from 2009-10 and at Mississippi State from 2011-12.

His hiring was announced Monday through a university release.
