Darius White is rated by Scout.com as a five-star prospect and the nation's No. 1 wide receiver recruit. Sources indicated that White may have shortened his list of possible destinations to two schools – Oklahoma State and LSU.
A 6-foot-4, 210-pound wideout from Fort Worth's Dunbar High School, White reportedly has been recruited heavily also by Oklahoma, Texas, Florida and Texas Tech.
Jan. 2 already was a big date on the Oklahoma State calendar as the Cowboys face Ole Miss in the Cotton Bowl Classic. Depending on what White has to say during the Under Armour All-American Game in Orlando, Fla., it could wind up becoming an even more significant Saturday for the OSU football program.
White, who averaged 22.2 yards per reception during the 2009 season, is expected to announce his college destination during the Under Armour game.
Accompanied by his mother and two younger brothers, White recently made an official visit to the OSU campus. He currently plays for the Dunbar basketball team, and it is believed that a member of the OSU football coaching staff attended Dunbar's game last Tuesday.
Recruits may sign national letters of intent on Feb. 3.
