Austin White: From Sidelines to Starting CB
Mount Carmel Caravan's Austin White, a Class of 2027 cornerback, rebounded from a season-ending ACL injury in 2024 to secure a starting role entering the 2026 season. White's impressive summer camp performance, highlighted by a 4.38-second 40-yard dash, has scouts taking notice. The 6-foot, 180-pound defensive back has been working tirelessly to regain his pre-injury form, and his efforts have paid off. White's ability to cover receivers and provide support in the secondary has earned him a spot in the Caravan's starting lineup. As a freshman, White showed promise, recording 23 tackles and two interceptions. Now, he's looking to build on that momentum and become a top target for college scouts. With his speed, agility and determination, White is a player to watch in the 8A classification this season. College scouts are watching to see how White adapts to game action and if he can maintain his high level of performance throughout the season.
