White: "I made the right decision"
Multi-sport athlete doesn't regret choosing Stanford, baseball
Like many fortunate high school seniors, Jonah White had more than one attractive option to choose from when it came time to decide what he'd be doing next year.
White's choices were, however, more intriguing than most.
At The Lovett School, White starred as a quarterback in football, a point guard in basketball, and a pitcher in baseball. He led Lovett's football team to a 11-2 record and a region championship as a senior, throwing for just under 2000 yards and 19 touchdowns. On the basketball court, he averaged 17.3 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 6.4 assists, and he went 11-2 with a 1.50 ERA on the mound during baseball season. He was an All-Region pick in all three sports, and earned All-State recognition in baseball.
White was recruited by FCS schools, including Furman, Elon, Bucknell, and William & Mary, as a quarterback. Several Division II schools were interested in him as a basketball player. "I thought about playing both baseball and football in college," White says. "Four or five FCS football schools were very eager to let me play both sports, and because I've always enjoyed playing more than one sport, I very nearly went with that option."
Baseball, however, is White's best sport, and the one that provided him with the most attractive options. "I got offers from a lot of great programs," he says. "I chose Stanford because of their great baseball tradition, and because they're such a fantastic school academically."
Academics are important to White, who earned a 3.9 GPA in high school and broke 1400 on his math/verbal SAT. "I never really considered going pro in baseball right away. I've always known I wanted to go to college. My mom and dad are really supportive of my decision," White says.
"Professional baseball will be around when I'm through with school. I made the right decision."
I've added an NCAA feeder league with 64 schools, including most of the big-time baseball programs in the nation and a handful of schools I'm interested in for one reason or another. 
We'll therefore be able to follow Jonah White's career as a member of the Cardinal, and if he does end up playing pro ball, we'll keep up with him then, too.
