Gameday+ | Recruiting: 'Athlete' Brendon White wants to be like Darron Lee at Ohio State

Brendon White can be seen as following in the footsteps of his father, William, in committing to Ohio State, but Brendon — a senior two-way star at Olentangy Liberty — is thinking of other shoes to fill.

Darron Lee was a multi-talented athlete from another central Ohio school, New Albany, who stepped up to become one of the more dynamic linebackers in the nation in 2014 and ’15 before moving on to the NFL.

“That’s a very good comparison. I wouldn’t want to be compared to anyone else,” said Brendon White, a long-time commitment to Ohio State’s top-ranked 2017 recruiting class.
