Wildcat Pass Rusher Jalen White Seeks Redemption After ACL Injury
North Little Rock Charging Wildcats defensive end Jalen White recorded 12 sacks as a junior in 7A competition, a pace that could have propelled him into the state's top 10 in the category. White's impressive performance was cut short, however, when he suffered a season-ending ACL injury in the Wildcats' third game. Now, as a senior and Class of 2025 prospect, White is back on the field and on the cusp of a starting role. With a summer of intense training and rehabilitation behind him, White is looking to reclaim his spot as one of the top pass rushers in the state. He's been working on refining his technique and building his endurance, and scouts are taking notice. What they'll be watching for is White's ability to maintain his speed and agility while also showcasing his strength and power in the trenches. If he can do that, he could be a top target for college recruiters come signing day.
