Towson, Maryland native Rodney White, a three-star recruit from the Class of 2026, made his commitment to the Indiana Hoosiers football program last week.

Rodney White told On3 Sports "I genuinely felt like that was home on my visit"

White plays his high school football at Concordia Prep in Towson (MD) – a suburb of Baltimore.

White also held offers from Boston College, Georgia Tech, Delaware, Georgia Tech, Tennessee , Tulane, UNLV, Toledo, Minnesota, Penn State, Pittsburgh, South Carolina, Virginia Tech, Maryland and West Virginia among power conference schools.

The 6-foot-3 and 290-pound White is the No. 98 ranked defensive lineman in the 2026 class according to the On3 Industry Average.

247Sports Composite ranks White, No. 1046 overall in the country, he's the 99th ranked defensive tackle in the class and No. 23 in the state of Maryland for the 2026 class.

White produced five sacks, 34 tackles and 22 tackles for loss as a junior in 2024.

Indiana offered White in November and he visited Bloomington in February.  He was scheduled to come back this summer but went ahead and committed to the Hoosiers.

""Indiana is family oriented, and they also use their front seven a lot. I like how the environment is, like everything is in the stadium and that's the first time I've seen anything like that.""
Rodney White

White joins three-star linebacker Jacob Savage, three-star interior offensive lineman Sam Simpson, three-star cornerback Kasmir Hicks and four-star running back/linebacker Henry Ohlinger as the 2026 recruits that have committed to Indiana.
