Darius White: The Academic All-Star Safety
Bingham Miners safety Darius White has been a stalwart in the secondary, racking up 12 interceptions over the past two seasons. The 6-foot, 190-pound senior has proven himself to be a ball-hawking defender, with a knack for reading the quarterback's eyes and making plays on the ball. Off the field, White has been just as impressive, maintaining a 4.0 GPA while taking Advanced Placement courses in economics and calculus. As a 6A player in the UHSAA, White's academic prowess has earned him a spot on the Utah Academic All-State Team. With college scouts taking notice of his on-field production and off-field dedication, White is being closely watched by programs seeking a versatile defensive back. Specifically, scouts are looking to see how White adapts to new defensive schemes and how he handles the increased physicality of the upcoming season.
