FSU only has a few spots to fill in its 2026 recruiting class, and a couple of them are premium positions like the offensive line. The Noles have three offensive line commitments, but could add a major one on Saturday afternoon.
Four-star offensive lineman Da'Ron Parks will make his commitment announcement at 4:30 p.m. ET on his Instagram page.
FSU was the first of his finalists to offer, and they got him on campus a few times before his official visit in June. It looks like he'll choose between FSU, Auburn, and Ohio State.
Parks played football in high school for the past few years but transferred to West Virginia for his senior season, where he's originally from.

Ohio State already has several offensive line commits, and Auburn landed one of FSU's top targets on the offensive line in Wilson Zierer. FSU has been in a good spot for Parks in the past, but the recruiting world is so fluid that it's hard to predict how things may shake out.
I think FSU has a good shot to land him, and they need to because they don't have many realistic targets remaining who are not committed elsewhere.
Parks is the No. 350 player and No. 25 interior lineman nationally. He's listed as an offensive tackle, but I have my doubts he can play there in college unless he trims down that 350-pound frame. He might be able to provide some reps there in a pinch.
He's a road grader who could make a major impact in Gus Malzan's running game. Here's to hoping the good guys land one of their final pieces of the 2026 recruiting puzzle on Saturday.
