Michigan linebacker D.J. White is seeing his recruitment heat up.<\/p>\n
A standout linebacker at Orchard Park St. Mary’s<\/a>, White is an intriguing prospect because of his length as well as his instincts. He covers lots of turf and is quite the weapon as a blitzer. White is strong in run defense and regularly makes plays in the backfield.<\/p>\n He does a nice job of getting off his blocks in pursuit of the ball carrier.<\/p>\n In the past 48 hours, he has three offers from Power Five programs: Pittsburgh, Rutgers<\/a> and Penn State<\/a>. White told USA TODAY High School Sports that the recent spike in his recruitment is exciting.<\/p>\n Boston College, Michigan State<\/a>, Nebraska<\/a> and Kansas are potentially showing him the most love.<\/p>\n “My recruitment is going great, just got an offer to Penn State,” White said.<\/p>\n “I’m planning to commit (somewhere) during the summer.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The Penn State offer, obviously, is a big deal for White and his recruitment. The Nittany Lions are doing well right now for White as they are a program he is very high on.<\/p>\n “So, Penn State was a blessing to get,” White said.<\/p>\n “I watched Penn State growing up. I’ve been to Penn State when I was a kid. It’s a nice program and the one thing that stands out (about them) to me is they have high expectations.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n White said Penn State is definitely getting a visit at some point.<\/p>\n Michigan State is another program that is doing well with White. The in-state program will be getting a visit from White soon.<\/p>\n “Michigan State’s coaches are amazing,” White said.<\/p>\n “They want me to come play there. I have a great relationship with the coaching staff…I’ll be visiting on February 3.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n This week, Rutgers offered White. The Scarlet Knights are coming off a 7-6 season where they played the second-toughest schedule in the country.<\/p>\n They beat Miami in the Bad Boy Mowers Pinstripe Bowl.<\/p>\n “I’m definitely thinking about visiting,” White said.<\/p>\n “Waiting until I get this schedule. Overall, I like what I’ve seen so far.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" D.J.
