De Smet Spartans Kicker Marcus White Enters Concussion Protocol
De Smet Spartans kicker Marcus White has entered concussion protocol, leaving his status for the upcoming game uncertain. According to unnamed sources, White is currently undergoing evaluation and treatment. The Spartans' coaching staff is expected to re-evaluate White's status on a weekly basis. If White is unable to return, the Spartans may turn to sophomore kicker, Ethan Lee, who has been participating in summer camp. Lee has shown promise in preseason drills, but the depth chart implications are still unclear. The Spartans' season opener is scheduled for September 2, and White's availability will be a key factor in the team's success. The MSHSAA concussion protocol requires a minimum of six days of rest and clearance from a medical professional before a player can return to play.
