Ohio State Offers 2027 LB Prospect DeShawn White
The Maryville Rebels' defense received a boost this summer as 2027 linebacker DeShawn White announced an offer from Ohio State. White, a 6-foot, 215-pound inside linebacker, recorded 104 tackles and 12 sacks as a sophomore. He also notched 10 tackles for loss and two interceptions. The Rebels' standout has already received offers from Alabama, Tennessee, and Georgia. White's impressive performance at the TSSAA's annual 'Top Gun' camp in June caught the attention of college scouts. He is expected to attend the Nike 'The Opening' regional camp in August. White has stated he plans to take official visits to Ohio State and Alabama in the fall. The Rebels will look to build on their strong 2025 season, and White's decision will be closely watched as he navigates the recruiting process.
