Four-star OL back on the market

Four-star offensive center/defensive tackle Jesse White (6-2, 295, 4.79) from Denver Mullen had to withdraw his commit to UCLA because UCLA doesn’t have an undergrad business school, which is what White wants to major in. UCLA’s loss will undoubtedly be some other lucky school’s gain. White is one of the nation’s best players at any position.
"I'm withdrawing my commitment to UCLA," White said.

The White family wants to make it perfectly clear there isn’t a bad guy in this scenario and the UCLA football program did nothing wrong. The fact of the matter is White wants to major is business pure and simple.
"When I committed to UCLA, I thought they had a degree in business managment, but they don't. I want to make it clear that I don't think anything was wrong with UCLA or that they did anything wrong. I just need to pick a school that has what I'm going to major in."
White will start the recruiting process over and schools such as Oklahoma, Nebraska, Colorado, Washington, Oregon and Notre Dame are in the hunt.
White has a lot of family in Oklahoma so the Sooners are attractive in that area. White’s father played for Colorado so that may be a consideration. It can’t be understated that White is also very interested in Notre Dame, Nebraska, Oregon and Washington.
The above schools were showing White the most attention before he committed to UCLA back in February.
White told Rivals.com he is very open and he has reopened the recruiting process.
Now that White is back on the table look for a flood of schools to try to get in the picture for his services. He is one of the best offensive linemen in the country and he’s a tremendous athlete for a big man.
White is playing both ways as a senior. He is lining up at the one technique and the two on defense.
White is as strong as they come. His bench is 465 and he squats 650. To top it off White has recorded a 32-inch vertical. That shows that he is very explosive for a big man.
Look for a plethora of schools to try to get on this talented football player.
Rivals.com rates White as the nation’s No. 2 offensive center for the class of 2005 and as the state of Colorado’s No. 2 prospect at any position.
