White is an impressive 6-5 center and is currently ranked as the third-best prospect and top-ranked center in the state of Kentucky in the class of 2024, according to Prep Girls Hoops. She has been a standout player at Butler Traditional High School, where she has earned three letters under head coach Candyce Wheeler. Additionally, White has played on the Adidas 3SSB circuit with coach Richard Jeter.

Coach Borst expressed her delight with the new class, stating, “We have a really strong class coming in next fall, and it’s a group that we are very proud of. It’s a diverse group of players from near and far, who all bring something different to our team. I think Big Blue Nation will love what they all bring to the table. We have big shoes to fill within the Kentucky women’s golf program in the years to come, and I know that these players, along with our returners next season, are ready for that task and more!”
