Three-Star linebacker schedules official visit to FSU Football
Florida State overhauled its linebacker room this offseason, transitioning John Papuchis to replace Randy Shannon and landing three experienced players out of the NCAA Transfer Portal. The position group is in a solid spot entering the spring but more talent is always needed across the roster.
On Saturday, three-star linebacker Duyon “DQ” Forkpa scheduled an official visit to Florida State that will take place this summer from June 6-8, per On3’s Chad Simmons. Forkpa will also take trips to Minnesota, Michigan, UCF, and Cincinnati.

Forkpa was in Tallahassee for a junior day at the beginning of February. He’s held an offer from the Seminoles since his performance at a camp in June of 2024. Forkpa returned to campus last fall for Florida State’s home games against Clemson and Florida.
The Georgia native recorded 22 tackles, two tackles for loss, and three pass deflections in five games last season. He recently transferred to IMG Academy to play out his senior year..
