The Clemson Tigers’ 2025 season might have ended their natty dream after going 3-4 in the first nine weeks. However, a new season has begun for a Tigers defensive tackle going into the bye week. Death Valley is celebrating its biggest dub (knot) of the season. Months after proposing to his college sweetheart in May, T. J. Parker finally ties the knot with former volleyball player Azyah Dailey on October 23, 2025.

They both posted their wedding pictures on Instagram, sharing this beautiful moment. Dailey was wearing a stunning white gown with a slit on it and holding a bouquet of white roses. At the same time, Parker was all suited up in black. Both looked perfect and stood beside each other, taking the first step to their bright future. The caption captured the entire emotion well: “The Parkers.”

What’s better than getting married to your soulmate? For TJ Parker, Dailey is not just her soulmate but the plot twist he never saw coming. And all credit goes to Clemson. “Proposing to my fiancé (former Tiger volleyball player Aźyah Dailey) has been my favorite memory at Clemson so far and was definitely my most important goal,” said T.J. “Coach (Dabo) Swinney told me in high school that I could achieve every goal I want in life and outside of football. To be able to meet my future wife here and compete for championships makes this place very special to me.”

The signs were everywhere as Parker and Dailey dropped hints about tying the knot on Instagram. In September, Dailey posted a picture of Parker wearing a Clemson jersey with the footballer’s number 3 engraved. But what grabbed the most attention was her “Mrs Parker” impression on the T-shirt with a caption that reads: “3+me.” A month later, we are looking at their beautiful wedding pictures.

Like his personal life, TJ Parker’s NFL future looks promising. Although his arm length became a significant issue after he emerged as the most promising freshman in 2024 with 57 total tackles and 11 sacks, this season, he has made an impact, especially in the last game, when he recorded seven total tackles in a blistering performance against the SMU Mustangs. Yet, he needs to improve slightly to get picked early in the draft.

Performances against North Carolina sure show his explosiveness, but consistency is the key. For now, fans’ attention is all over Parker’s marriage, as they can’t get enough of it.
