Smyrna LB DeShawn White Weighs Transfer Amid Academic Opportunity
Smyrna Eagles junior linebacker DeShawn White is reportedly considering a transfer to a new school, citing an academic opportunity as the primary reason. With only a handful of Division I-caliber linebackers in the First State, White's departure would be a significant blow to the Eagles' defense. The 6-foot-2, 220-pounder is a key component of Smyrna's 3-4 scheme, and his absence would be felt throughout the season. According to sources, White has received interest from programs in neighboring Pennsylvania and Maryland, as well as a few schools in New Jersey. The DIAA has yet to comment on the situation, but it's clear that White's decision will have far-reaching implications for the Eagles' 2026 campaign.
