NEW ORLEANS, La. (WTVY) - A former Daleville Warhawks standout has earned Offensive Player of the Week honors in the Sun Belt Conference (SBC) following an impressive Week 8 performance.
Jalen White earned the honors thanks to his career-high 164 rushing yards and two touchdowns, as well as three catches for 13 yards, en route to helping the Georgia Southern Eagles earn a crucial 38-28 conference victory over Louisiana-Monroe (ULM).
The career-high mark served as the senior running back’s second 100-yard game of the 2023 season, and his seventh of his collegiate career. White’s two touchdowns also came as part of 21 points scored by Georgia Southern during a 1 minute, 46 second span in the second quarter of the contest against ULM.
White is no stranger to success on the gridiron. In 2022, he was recognized as second team All-SBC by the Pro Football Network, and third team All-SBC by Phil Steele, Pro Football Focus and the Sun Belt Conference itself. He has recorded 1,858 rushing yards and 19 touchdowns in his collegiate career on the ground, as well as 269 receiving yards and two touchdowns through the air.
While at Daleville, White was a first team All-USA selection by USA Today after leading the nation in rushing yards as a high school senior, and was a 2019 MaxPreps Small Schools First Team All-American. His 3,517 rushing yards in 11 games that season set an Alabama state record, including a state-record eight touchdown performance in the first half that season against Barbour County. White was also named to the ASWA All-State team, named Class 2A Back of the Year, finished in the top three in voting for Mr. Football, and was named to the state’s Super-All State team.
White, with his 5,000 yards for his high school career, was ranked the 90th best running back in the country by 247Sports when he committed to Georgia Southern.
