Florida State upgrades #Tribe26 with addition of three-star OL Da'Ron Parks

On Saturday, FSU pulled off a big win on the recruiting trail, securing a pledge from three-star offensive lineman Da'Ron Parks.

Parks chose the Seminoles over Ohio State, Auburn, and Kentucky.

The rising senior was in Tallahassee for an official visit from June 13-15. He also saw Auburn, Ohio State, Kentucky, and Rutgers since the middle of May.

Parks has been a longtime target for the Seminoles, who offered him back in June of 2023. Since the coaching changes on offense, offensive line coach Herb Hand prioritized the massive offensive lineman.

That paid off for Florida State in the end.

The West Virginia native transferred closer to home for his final season at the prep level. He'll be suiting up for Nitro High School. Parks projects to play along the interior at the college level.

The 6-foot-5, 350-pound offensive lineman is regarded as the No. 350 overall prospect, the No. 25 IOL, and the No. 1 recruit in West Virginia in the 2026 class according to the 247Sports composite ratings.

With the addition of Parks, Florida State holds 22 verbal commitments in its 2026 class. The haul moves from No. 15 to No. 13 in the country. The Seminoles previously landed three-star offensive lineman Michael Ionata, three-star offensive lineman Jakobe Green, and three-star offensive lineman Luke Francis.
