The ESPN broadcast said Belton might have been riled up because a Tigers player had stomped on Parker’s helmet, which was not seen by officials.
Pro Football Focus ranks Belton as its 95th-ranked prospect for the 2025 NFL Draft. Belton played every game in 2023 and was tied for the team lead with 51 pancake blocks.
