Southern Miss QB Commit John White Taking Syracuse Official Visit This Week /

In this story:

Class of 2024 Madison (MS) Madison-Ridgeland Academy (MRA) quarterback John White will take an official visit to Syracuse starting Thursday, June 1st, he tells All Syracuse. White is listed at 6-0, 205 pounds and is currently committed to Southern Miss. He has not reported an official offer from the Orange to date. White also holds scholarship opportunities from Liberty, Arkansas State, West Virginia, Old Dominion, Tulane and others.

White was named the MVP of the 2024 quarterbacks at the Big 40 football camp last summer and given the Golden Gun Accuracy Award at the Oxford (MS) Elite 11 Camp.

White committed to Southern Miss last summer. Power five schools have been reluctant to offer because he is only six feet and not a few inches taller. His high school film and productivity speak for themselves, however. White led MRA to a state championship as a sophomore, throwing for 3,965 yards and 39 touchdowns while completing 68% of his passes.

Schools are starting to come around despite the lack of ideal height, with West Virginia offering recently and Syracuse scheduling an official visit. This will be his first trip to Central New York. White is rated a three star prospect by On3, 247Sports and Rivals.

In addition to White, two other quarterbacks are expected to visit this month. Evans Chuba has an official visit scheduled for the weekend of June 9th, while Brendan Zurbrugg has one set for the weekend of June 16th

Title: Publisher All Syracuse Education: Roberts Wesleyan College Location: Syracuse, New York Expertise: Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting. EXPERIENCE Mike McAllister has been covering Syracuse basketball, football and recruiting for more than a decade. Mike's career started with his own free blog as a way to vent following sporting events. Shortly thereafter, a network of basketball sites called Coast 2 Coast Hoops asked him to run their Syracuse site. That site was called Nation of Orange, and Mike quickly established it as a go-to for Syracuse fans. After running Nation of Orange for several months, a position with the Syracuse site on the Scout network became available. After one year as the recruiting expert with Cuse Nation, he was named the publisher. Mike oversaw the transition from Scout to 247Sports, and ran the site on that network for years. Presented with the opportunity to join one of the biggest names in the sports journalism industry, Sports Illustrated, Mike jumped at the chance. All Syracuse was started from scratch by Mike and the Fan Nation team. It has now become a staple for Orange fans of various sports. Mike has broken news on recruiting, Syracuse basketball and football team information and has established himself as the top recruiting inside in the market. He has appeared on local radio shows, television broadcasts, national radio shows and much more. Mr. McAllister has a Bachelor of Science Degree in Accounting and Information Management from Roberts Wesleyan College.
