The Louisville, Ky., native is the fourth addition for the Hokies since Duffy was appointed on April 5. She joins Utah guard Lani White and other high school recruits Myah Hazleton (6-4), Leila Wells (5-9) and Kayl Petersen (6-0).
White was previously a Kentucky signee but reopened her recruitment when Kenny Brooks took over in Lexington. The No. 1 center and No. 3 overall player in the 2024 class in the Bluegrass State, according to Prep Girls Hoops, she had a preexisting relationship with Tech assistant Jen Hoover, who was previously with the Wildcats.
As a senior at Butler Traditional High School, she averaged 11.4 points and 7.6 rebounds per game while shooting 56 percent and helping her team to the semifinals of the state tournament. She was an All-Region First Team performer as a junior while averaging 8.6 points and 8.0 rebounds per game.
“She is a force to be reckoned with on the boards, which is a huge asset for our program, while she also is a solid shot blocker,” former Kentucky head coach Kyra Elzy said of White when she signed in November. “For a post player, she can run the floor well while her mobility is impressive for her length and size. Off the court, White is an impressive young lady who will bring a drive and a focus to our locker room.”
She had offers from Clemson, Florida State, Kansas State, Mississippi State, Syracuse, among others.
White’s commitment gives the Hokies 11 scholarship players for the 2024-25 season and leaves four open spots. Here’s a breakdown:
