Florida State added another major piece to its 2026 recruiting class, securing the commitment of blue-chip offensive lineman Da’Ron Parks on Saturday:
Parks is a 6-foot-5, 350 pound offensive lineman who played for Cardinal Mooney last year in Sarasota, Florida. He has transferred back home to West Virginia to play his senior season at Nitro High School. He is currently ranked as the 350th best player nationally by 247Sports Composite (25th best interior lineman and THE best player in WV). Florida State is recruiting Parks as an offensive tackle.
Parks chose the Seminoles over fellow finalists the Ohio State Buckeyes, Auburn Tigers, and Kentucky Wildcats, as well as 45 other offers from the likes of the Alabama Crimson Tide, Florida Gators, Georgia Bulldogs, Louisville Cardinals, Miami Hurricanes, Missouri Tigers, Nebraska Cornhuskers, North Carolina Tar Heels, Ole Miss Rebels, Oregon Ducks, Penn State Nittany Lions, SMU Mustangs, South Carolina Gamecocks, Tennessee Volunteers, Texas A&M Aggies, and UCLA Bruins.
