According to the 247Sports Composite, Yarbrough is the 16th-ranked edge rusher in the country and the No. 191 player overall. He played a variety of positions during his sophomore season at Durant High School, including tight end, edge, defensive line, and linebacker.

Yarbrough adds to an impressive list of edge recruits under defensive line coach Deke Adams. Over the past three recruiting cycles, Adams has added four-star prospects Quincy Rhodes, Charleston Collins, Kavion Henderson and Yarbrough.
