Early life
Yurosek grew up in Bakersfield, California and attended Bakersfield Christian High School. He is the great-grandson of Mike Yurosek, a farmer who invented the baby carrot. As a senior he had 49 receptions for 741 yards and 11 touchdowns on offense and made 81 tackles with 22 sacks and five forced fumbles as a defensive end. He also led Bakersfield Christian to a state championship in basketball. Yurosek was rated a three-star recruit and committed to play college football at Stanford over offers from Notre Dame, Washington, and UCLA.
