Florida State offers 2028 edge in North Carolina

The Florida State Seminoles have extended a scholarship offer to 2028 three-star edge Darias Johnson out of Raleigh, North Carolina.

Florida State is making serious moves on the recruiting trail, and the latest target in their sights is a rising star from the Tar Heel State. On Monday, the Seminoles extended a scholarship offer to Darias Johnson, a three-star edge rusher from Raleigh, North Carolina, who is part of the 2028 class.

Standing at 6-foot-4 and weighing 220 pounds, Johnson has the size and athleticism that college coaches dream about. While his offer list isn't long, it's certainly impressive—featuring heavyweights like Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Tennessee, and Virginia Tech, alongside Florida State. That kind of company tells you everything you need to know about his potential.

Johnson took to social media to share the news, writing, "I am blessed to receive an offer from Florida state." And with good reason—the Seminoles are building something special in Tallahassee, and they're clearly looking for impact players to add to the mix.

As a sophomore this past season, Johnson showed flashes of brilliance on the field, recording 32 tackles, four tackles for loss, one sack, and a fumble recovery. Those numbers are solid, but his raw talent suggests there's plenty more to come.

According to Rivals' industry rankings, Johnson is rated as the nation's No. 560 overall recruit and the No. 56 edge rusher in his class. In North Carolina, he's considered the No. 14 prospect—a testament to the depth of talent in the region.

Johnson joins a growing list of edge rushers that Florida State has targeted in the 2028 cycle, including blue-chip prospects Chance Archangel, Brayson Robinson, and Christopher Sanon. The Seminoles are clearly prioritizing the defensive line as they look to build a championship-caliber roster for the future.

For fans of Florida State football, this is a name to watch. Johnson has the tools to develop into a game-changer off the edge, and with offers already rolling in from some of the nation's top programs, his recruitment is only going to heat up from here.
