How long White will take to recover from the ACL tear remains to be seen, but his freshman year at Georgia is now in jeopardy.
Whether he ends up taking a redshirt in 2018 or not remains to be seen, but he’ll likely at least be out through spring ball, if he was going to be an early enrollee at Georgia.
According to the 247Sports composite, White is the No. 6 overall player nationally, the No. 1 running back in the 2018 class and the No. 1 overall recruit from the state of North Carolina.
