Jarell White, a former La Salle High School and Cincinnati Bearcats standout linebacker, signed with the Canadian Football League's Calgary Stampeders, the team announced Monday.
From White via Twitter:
White joins former Bearcats linebacker Perry Young on the Stampeders' roster.
White, a 2020 First-Team All-American Athletic Conference selection, played in 49 career games at UC, totaling 247 tackles - including 25 for a loss and finishing with 4.5 sacks, four interceptions (one returned for a TD), nine passes defended and four forced fumbles, per GoBearcats.com.
White was named AAC Defensive Player of the Week twice last season and once the previous season.
The first big-name local recruit to commit to UC during the Luke Fickell era, White played running back at La Salle and played defense as needed, helping the Lancers to three consecutive state championships from 2014 to 2016 - the first team in OHSAA Div. II history to win three state titles in a row.
