Dillon’s DJ Park was named a small school all-american by MaxPreps on Friday, January 11, 2013. This title is bestowed upon outstanding athletes who attend small schools with a student body of less than 1,000. Park was the only player from the state to receive this recognition. DJ has also been recognized as the top offensive lineman in the state by the High School Sports Report, Rivals.com, MaxPreps, 247 Sports, and Scout300.

Park was a three-year starter at left tackle and says that he enjoyed playing for the Wildcats. However, now his focus is on playing for the Gamecocks where he is currently enrolled. DJ began classes at USC on Monday, January 14, 2013, exactly one year after he verbally committed to the program. As an early enrollee, he will be able to participate in Spring practice.

DJ is an honor graduate, ranking in the top 25% of his class. He is the son of Joseph and Sherry Park.
