Key OL target explains why FSU stands out as decision date draws near

[ASFN Admin]

Florida State is one of the four schools that 2027 three-star offensive lineman DaJohn Yarborough is choosing from. The others are the California Bears, Mississippi State Bulldogs, and Washington Huskies.

The 6-foot-5, 330-pounder is set to begin his official visit schedule next week when he goes to Mississippi State on May 29. On June 5, he'll go to Tallahassee to visit FSU, and he recently told Rivals what makes the Seminoles one of his standout choices.

Florida State stands out for its tradition, elite coaching, and ability to develop players for the next level,” said Yarborough. “The environment and fan base there is different—it feels big-time every day. I can see myself growing on and off the field in that program and competing at a high level. I also like how consistent they are in competing for championships and being in big games. The standard there pushes players to stay locked in every day. I feel like being around that kind of culture would bring the best out of me and help me reach my full potential as a player and teammate.

When Yarborough arrives on Florida State's campus, it will be his second time there with his first coming back in March. He'll head to California on June 11 and then Washington on June 19.

Yarborough is the nation's No. 409 recruit and the No. 31 interior offensive lineman per Rivals' industry rankings. He's also the No. 9 prospect in the state of Arizona.

This certainly a battle that FSU needs to win. They landed up three-star quarterback Logan Flaherty on Tuesday, and the Seminoles need to keep the momentum going as they look to climb back up the rankings in the 2027 recruiting cycle.
