Jahiem White

White led the backfield in Morgantown in 2024 with 845 yards and seven touchdowns. He's an explosive playmaker, and he's likely to have even more carries in 2025 following teammate CJ Donaldson's transfer to Ohio State. West Virginia welcomes back Rich Rodriguez as head coach, and he's expected to bring his spread-option offense with him. With a quarterback competition in play, expect White to be the center of everything West Virginia does. White may have a season that looks like Steve Slaton or Noel Devine with a ton of zone reads, option plays, and tempo, all designed to get White in open space. As long as White stays healthy, he could be one of the most productive backs in all of the conference and maybe even the country. Read Past Outlooks
