Livonia Stevenson running back Austin White is another prospect who already has seen the recruiting process first-hand. His older brother, Myles, signed with Michigan State in the class of 2008, and he has another brother who walked on with the Spartans this fall.
The 6-0, 186-pound White was verbally offered by both Michigan and Michigan State after attending camps during the summer and will be receiving his official offers from those schools this week. On Saturday, White was in attendance at Michigan Stadium to see the Wolverines take on Utah. His early offer and visits to the Ann Arbor campus have made the Wolverines a top contender for his services.
"I like Michigan a lot, and they're definitely one of the top schools that I'd like to go to,” White said.
Expect White to be one of the top running back prospects in the country and challenge for top honors in the state of Michigan in the class of 2010. He kicked off his junior season with a 22-carry, 242-yard, five-touchdown performance in a 41-40 win over Livonia Franklin last week.

From the MSU site. White had a good trip to MSU for junior day, and talks about how comfortable he is there. His brother plays for the Spartans and his father ran track there, so he's very familiar with the program.

4. Austin White, Livonia Stevenson running back
White has been one of the most productive running backs in Michigan the last two years. The 6-foot, 193-pounder has rushed for over 3,000 yards the last two seasons, helping Stevenson become one of the top programs in the state. MSU and U-M have offered White, but so has Iowa, Wisconsin and Purdue. White’s size and speed lead some to wonder whether he could play wide receiver in college. So far, every team has offered him as a running back. He is the brother of Michigan State wide receiver Myles White.

3. RB Austin White, Livonia Stevenson (6-0, 180, 4.4): White bested his stellar sophomore performance last year by showing he could drive Stevenson's ship without help from his brothers Myles and Mitchell, both of whom had headed off to Michigan State. The talented youngster rushed 228 times for 1,610 yards and 28 touchdowns, and also hauled in 21 receptions for 310 yards and four more TDs.
A number of programs covet that versatility. Some have even expressed the belief that he could excel as a defensive back. White already holds offers from Michigan, Michigan State, Iowa, Wisconsin and Purdue. His Green and White ties run deep, as both his parents are alums and both his brothers are students, but he insisted from the beginning that that will not be the defining factor in his recruitment. His approach thus far definitely backs that up. He has made numerous visits to Michigan and MSU, and he also has traveled to Notre Dame, Iowa and Wisconsin. Apparently that is just the beginning of a very busy itinerary. He is also interested in dropping in on schools that are showing interest from outside the region, like Florida State.
Trieu: "I love the versatility Austin brings. He is excellent in the open field, he can run from an I-formation, from a shotgun, he can split out, he can play in the slot, and he blocks. I don't know that he'll be a workhorse type back in college, but he can help a team in a variety of ways."

UM leads, MSU close behind. Iowa, UW, Illinois, and LSU stand out. No decision expected to come soon.
