‘s success as the winter), Benilde-St. Margaret’s monstrous sophomore of an offensive tackle and projected iOL has blown up this spring. After P4 offers from Kansas State and Iowa State in January, things turned up a notch this spring on the recruiting trail. Sparked by a Boston College offer in late March, Yarborough added Kansas, Maryland, Alabama, Eastern Kentucky, Bowling Green, Florida Atlantic, Florida A&M, Wisconsin, and last but not least, the home state Gophers, who offered on the 19th. Minnesota generally prefers their in-staters to camp with them in the summer, particularly the linemen, but their hand was forced due to the 330 lbers. growing popularity and attention. A factor in the Red Knights OT’s offer streak is also the fact that there is a big-time drop off in the 2027 Minnesota class and its OL and TE depth, a trend that is somewhat consistent through parts of the Midwest and particularly the Upper Midwest. With P4 and NY6 programs always keeping an eye or two on the upcoming recruiting cycles, especially in the trenches, Yarborough is reaping the rewards of both Minnesota’s tradition of OL quality as well as it being a potentially light year for big bodies in the Upper Midwest. Either way, Yarborough is deserving of the attention, as his brute strength, lateral agility, ability to climb and dominate at the second level, and general and overarching athleticism make him an obvious P4 talent with room and potential to add NFL and Sunday projection to his resume this coming offseason and fall.
