Etowah linebacker Ishmael White is sticking with Miami-Ohio, despite last week’s resignation of the school’s head football coach Shane Montgomery.

“The athletic director [Brad Bates] called him to confirm his scholarship, so I’m sure that was reassuring for Ishmael,” Etowah coach Bill Stewart said.

White committed to the Redhawks before Montgomery resigned on Nov. 29. “He went up there on an official visit and just liked the town and the setup,” Stewart said.

The 6-foot-1, 210-pound White chose Miami-Ohio over Southern Miss and UAB. White finished the 2008 season with more than 100 tackles, 12 sacks and one interception. He started the season for the Eagles at safety but moved to linebacker.
