LITTLE ROCK — Sight unseen, a cohort in Fayetteville likened John David White to Clemson wide receiver Hunter Renfrow and a Little Rock-based witness to White’s skills countered with New England’s Julian Edleman.
Comparing Arkansas’ preferred walk-on from Pulaski Academy to Burlsworth Award winner Renfrow and Super Bowl MVP Edelman is nothing more than words of praise, but White has superb hands, can run and will compete like the dickens — all attributes coveted in a wide receiver.
The decision to accept Arkansas’ offer came down to paying to pursue a dream vs. accepting a free ride at school with lesser football.
