Decision day is officially set for class of 2022 wide receiver Brandon White (5'9", 170 lbs) of Cincinnati, OH. White will be choosing from West Virginia, Kentucky, Indiana, and Purdue on October 1st. White originally scheduled to make his decision on August 27th but decided to delay his announcement.
He also holds offers from Akron, Bowling Green, Marshall, and a few others.
White has followed the WVU program closely over the years and when he received his offer from West Virginia back in June, he couldn't believe it. "It just felt so different. It felt like a dream come true. Growing up, and even today. Tavon Austin was my role model."
White has also paid close attention to the WVU basketball program where his friend and former high school teammate, Miles McBride, starred over the past two years. McBride even did a little recruiting himself to help bring White to West Virginia before he left for the NBA Draft.
"He was telling me how '[West Virginia head] coach Brown is the guy you want and how he will take care of ya!' And I definitely see it and love where things are heading,"
Shortly after receiving the offer from WVU, White made the trip to Morgantown for a visit over the summer and the newly updated facilities blew him away.
"Everything was top-notch," he said. "Not one old thing - everything is up to date and fit for success! And the recruitment they have been doing is off the charts, especially with the commitment from Nicco Marchiol."
I'm sure Marchiol wouldn't mind adding another speedy receiver to the mix as White has been clocked running a 4.28 40-yard dash and also set the Archbishop Moeller school record of 10.46 seconds in the 100-meter dash to qualify first for the Ohio State Finals.
