Ohio State makes final eight for top 2022 defensive end

One of the top-rated defensive ends in the 2022 recruiting class has narrowed his list the final eight and Ohio State has made it to the next round in the Enai White sweepstakes.

White is a four-star prospect and is rated as the No. 2 weakside defensive end and the No. 39 overall player in the nation according to 247Sports composite rankings. Recruiting analyst Brian Dohn has compared White to current NFL star, Jason Pierre-Paul.

Other teams to make White’s shortlist include Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Miami (FL), Oregon, and Texas A&M.

White currently resides in Florida and plays his high school ball at Imhotep Institute, but is originally from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With the Keystone state roots, it is somewhat surprising that Penn State was not included in White’s list of top schools.

White has set June 25-27 as his official date to visit Ohio State which will conclude a whirlwind, month-long tour. He’ll visit Florida on June 4-6, Georgia on June 11-13, and Alabama on June 18-20. The Buckeyes will have a great opportunity to leave the final impression.
