Lorenzo White Junior

Lorenzo White is emerging as one of the top defensive back prospects in South Florida this year and the Fort Lauderdale (Dillard) standout talked about the latest on the recruiting front.

Lorenzo White isn't a household recruiting name yet but that may soon change. After a strong spring and a couple good camp performances, word is spreading about the standout defender.
"I've just been going to camps and getting ready for the season," White said. "I went to the Michigan State camp and ran a 4.42. I went to the Miami camp and did real good and then I went to Rutgers and had a great time."

White, 6-feet and 175 pounds, talked more about his three camps.

"Michigan State was real nice," he said. "The coaches were real cool and I really enjoyed myself up there. They've offered me and they're one of the top schools I'm looking at. At Miami, they had a lot of top talent and I enjoyed the competition. I'm talking to them some but not as much (as the others). I did great at Rutgers. I went up against guys like Aldarius Johnson, DJ from Booker T., and Brandon Harris. I saw good competition and enjoyed that."

The talented defensive back claims four offers right now and a few others that he's hoping to land them from.

"I got them from Michigan State (cornerback), Central Michigan, Louisiana Lafayette, and Ole Miss (cornerback)," he said. "Rutgers is talking about it but hasn't yet. South Carolina might soon offer too. I might go to Alabama and Auburn's camp later but I'm not sure yet. My top five would be Michigan State, Central Michigan, Auburn, Alabama, and South Carolina."

When asked for a favorite, White pointed out two schools.

"I'd say it's between the two Michigan schools I mentioned," he said. "I'm gonna check out what they offer for my major (sports broadcasting) and athletics wise, I wanna see the rate of putting players into the NFL."

White, who carries a 2.45 GPA and a passing SAT score, finished his junior season with over 100 tackles, five interceptions, and two defensive
