After breaking a two-loss streak against Oklahoma in the first-round playoff game, Parker Brailsford’s Alabama is all set to face the Indiana Hoosiers in the quarterfinals. Kalen DeBoer’s star center player began his college journey with the Washington Huskies and later made the move to Alabama, earning All-SEC Third Team honors.

However, all this wouldn’t have been possible without his parents’ support. Now, let’s dig deeper and know more about them.

Who are Parker Brailsford’s parents? 

Parker Brailsford was born on October 20, 2003, in Mesa, Arizona. He attended Saguaro High School, where he also participated in track and field and football. After finishing high school, he committed to the Washington Huskies and later transferred to the Alabama Crimson Tide last year. Throughout all of this, his father, Phil Braisford, stood tall beside him.

Even though Phil Brailsford’s occupation is not publicly known, he is a familiar face in Tuscaloosa, as he supported Parker Brailsford’s transfer move and even showed his immense trust in Alabama’s head coach, Kalen DeBoer, and his coaching staff.

“I could tell right away that he really wanted to build a relationship with Parker,” Brailsford said of DeBoer. “[DeBoer and offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb] told us how big they are on developing their players, and they didn’t want to limit him to center and wanted to make sure they developed him. They also emphasized that Washington is going to be a family environment.”

His mother, too, stayed by his side throughout his journey, even though her name and occupation are not publicly known. And their support was evident in his performances.

Coming in last season, he immediately stepped up into his role, starting all 13 games for Alabama, registering 777 snaps along the offensive line, recording 63 knockdown blocks, and allowing just half a sack on the year. This season, too, he started all the games.

One of his remarkable games of the season was against Georgia, where he recorded four knockdown blocks and didn’t allow a single sack, pressure, or quarterback hit.

Now, let’s know more about his parents’ ethnicity.

What ethnicity are Parker Brailsford’s parents? 

Parker Brailsford’s parents’ ethnicity is still under wraps. His father, Phil Brailsford, is an American citizen; however, his mother’s personal identity and nationality have not been publicly disclosed yet. Although very little is known about his parents, their constant effort to make Parker a better person is evident in his goodwill.

Parker Brailsford used his NIL earnings to give back to underprivileged youth in Tuscaloosa this year before Christmas Eve. After establishing a strong presence in college football, he is now dedicated to helping those in need.

Brailsford took 10 children and their families from the Boys and Girls Club on a Christmas shopping trip. He provided each child with a $100 Target gift card, totaling $1,000 in NIL money, which is a considerable amount. But for Parker, it’s the purpose of his life.

“Being able to give back to kids that don’t have—that’s something that fulfills me,” Brailsford said. “It’s my purpose.”

All this is a result of his parents’ influence on him, which made him a remarkable person and player.

Parker Brailsford’s relationship with his parents 

Parker Brailsford came into Alabama after facing a “whirlwind” of offseason changes as Ryan Grubb and Scott Huff followed Kalen DeBoer temporarily to Alabama. This left Parker in a state of stress as he called his father and said, “I have no coach right now.”

That’s when his father calmed the situation and told him not to lose hope.

Soon after that, Alabama’s GM Courtney Morgan scheduled an official visit, and Parker enrolled in classes. His parents came to Seattle to clear out his apartment, handling everything from drawers to the fridge. That’s the kind of bond they share.

Even after getting to Bama, the journey was not easy, as Parker Brailsford missed most of the spring game, and stress persisted. And his father explained the pressure of football and relocation.

“This was kind of different (after transferring to Alabama) because it was just, ‘Where am I gonna be living? I don’t know anybody,” Phil Brailsford said. “Who’s gonna be my coach? How am I gonna get around?’ This was kind of his first time going through that, for sure.”

But in the end, he finally settled that’s how Parker’s parents raised him, with a solid mindset. Now he is ready to smack another win for Alabama in the quarterfinals.
