This season, White averages 24.9 points, 8.2 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.6 steals per game for Ottawa-Glandorf, leading the Titans to a 24-3 record and the state semifinals this weekend. As Ottawa-Glandorf prepares to face Harvest Prep at UD Arena, White needs five points to surpass the 2,000 mark for his high school career.

White is the 12th Ohio State signee to win Ohio Mr. Basketball and the third in four years. Freshman forward Devin Royal (Pickerington Central) won the award in 2023, and now-San Antonio Spur Malaki Branham (St. Vincent-St. Mary) won the award in 2021. The 2022 winner was Indiana freshman Gabe Cupps (Centerville).

Ohio’s Mr. Basketball Colin White on his future with Ohio State​

With a number of players returning to the court at Ohio State next season, fans are looking forward to Jake Diebler’s first full season as coach of the men’s basketball program. But the future also includes a high school senior who is already looking forward to becoming a Buckeye.

For any high school basketball player, there’s no bigger stage than the state tournament. And Ottawa-Glandorf’s Collin White is just the second player in Ohio history to play in the state tournament all four years of high school. The first was Lebron James.

“It means everything. I’ve been, fortunately, been here four straight years and I wouldn’t want to be any other place this weekend in March,” White said.

But White is preparing for the next level, getting ready to play for Ohio State and compete in the Big Ten.

“I’ve proven that over the years that I can play any style and play any place but I can really hammer down and be physical and get to the rim and just using my frame, you know,” White said. “My frame is only going to grow and get bigger.”

White committed to the Buckeyes last summer and was named this year’s Ohio Mr. Basketball as he eclipsed 2,000 points in the final game of his high school career, which happened to be a state semifinal against Harvest Prep.

“Colin is tough. He’s smart. He’s versatile. I think Colin has got a bright future here in this program and what I love about him most is he loves this place and I just think his high school career has been impressive,” Diebler said.

Breakdown​

After the Buckeyes brought in two big recruiting classes in 2022 and 2023, the 2024 recruiting class was always going to be a small one. At the end of the cycle, the Buckeyes signed two new players, Colin White and John Mobley Jr.

Mobley Jr. was the higher-ranked recruit, but White is also a player who can contribute immediately this season in Columbus.

White was a Top 125 recruit in the 2024 class and named the 2024 Ohio Mr. Basketball. He also earned First-team all-state honors as a junior and senior and led Ottawa-Glandorf to back-to-back state championship game appearances in 2022 and 2023.

He joined LeBron James (you might have heard of him) as the only high school player in Ohio to start on a state final-four team for four consecutive seasons

He was also the first player in Ottawa-Glandorf history to score over 2,000 career points and averaged 25.1 points, 8.4 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 2.6 steals per game as a senior.

He was named the Division-III Northwest Ohio Player of the Year as a junior after averaging 20.1 points, 5.8 rebounds, and 4.0 assists and competed on the AAU circuit for Indiana Elite

White helped Indiana Elite to a 39-3 record in 2024, averaging 14.3 points, 4.6 rebounds, and 2.5 assists per game while shooting 49.7 percent from the field.

Something that specifically caught my eye about White was his numbers against elite competition. High school aside, White excelled in his time with the Indiana Elite on the AAU circuit, showing that his game can elevate. He also played great in the Kingdom Summer League in Columbus this past summer, so he has shown his abilities against the top competition at every opportunity.
