2022 Ranking, Hit or Miss?

Outside of Jahiem White’s immediate family, coaches, and friends, you won’t find a bigger fan of his game than myself. I’ve gone on record saying Jahiem White is the best HS player I’ve seen live. He STILL holds that crown. Ranking White as the top back in his class was easy. I’ll admit, I didn’t expect Jahiem White to take CFB by storm this early, with White putting together an unreal freshman performance over at West Virginia. This was a hit.

An Excerpt from the past…

Excited to finally see 3-star running back and West Virginia commit Jahiem White live and in action this Friday. One of the best backs in the state, if not the best when you consider how capable White is in the passing game. I’ve stated in the past that I would take White’s pass-catching ability over many of the state’s top wideouts. His ability to be an every-down back had to play a role in his recruitment. White is just 300 yards away from calling himself William Penn York’s all-time leading rusher. Who knows, he could claim the title this Friday.

A player that kept on rising for us over the last few reranks, White is a fun running back to watch thanks to his speed and elusivness. Not only can he run side-to-side but he can also run through the middle of the line if needed at a high level as well. Has a chance to be a dynamic weapon for Neal Brown’s West Virginia Mountaineers.
