Whitney finished 2025 with 571 yards (3rd) and 12 touchdowns (2nd),but returns as the leading rusher in a run-heavy attack for Pinetown. He also averaged just under a first down on each carry, at 9.1 yards. Defensively, he added 26 tackles, with 3 of them for a loss, as well as 2 deflections on the year. On the track, he had a 12.33 100m and a 26.14 200m. While he may not seem like a burner on the track, he is dynamic enough in both to cause issues for opposing teams. Look for that to continue as RB1.
