Indiana landed its third commit in the 2026 class on Thursday afternoon.
3-star defensive lineman Rodney White announced his verbal pledge to the Hoosiers.
“The reason they were right for me was the coaching staff and seeing what they did in that short amount of time, and also when I was there I genuinely felt like that was home,” White told On3 national reporter Steve Wiltfong.
The 6-foot-3 and 290-pound White will play on the interior in college. He is the No. 98 ranked defensive lineman in the 2026 class according to the On3 Industry Average.
Playing for Concordia Prep in Towson, Md., White recorded five sacks and 22 tackles for loss as a junior in 2024.
White also had offers from Penn State, Tennessee, Virginia Tech, Maryland, South Carolina, West Virginia, Boston College and others.
Defensive tackle coach Pat Kuntz led the charge on White’s recruitment.
IU offered White in November and he subsequently visited Bloomington in February. He was scheduled to come back this summer but went ahead and made the call for the Hoosiers.
