Pine-Richland’s Kenny White eludes Manheim Township’s Brett Benjamin during the second quarter of their PIAA Class 6A state semifinal Saturday, Dec. 2, 2017, at Mansion Park in Altoona.
Former Pine-Richland and West Allegheny football standout Kenny White, now a junior college freshman, announced a scholarship offer from Akron.
White listed several Division 1 offers while starring in the WPIAL including Iowa State, but this offer from the Zips was his first since enrolling at Garden City (Kan.) Community College.
The 6-foot, 190-pound defensive back made 23 tackles, one interception and recovered two fumbles in nine games for Garden City last fall.
White scored eight touchdowns for Pine-Richland as a senior in 2017 when the Rams won the PIAA Class 6A title. He rushed for 1,313 yards and 19 touchdowns for West Allegheny in 2016.
