West Virginia running back Jahiem White has been named to the 2025 Preseason Offensive All-Big 12 Team.

White, who’ll be a true junior this season, flashed some big-play ability last year. He led the team in rushing with 844 yards and seven touchdowns on 148 carries, and added 19 catches for 122 yards and another score. He ranked 10th in the Big 12 in rushing yards and had a few standout games, including 158 yards and a touchdown at Oklahoma State and 124 yards against Texas Tech. His speed and burst make him a player to watch heading into 2025.

White was the only preseason selection for the Mountaineers.
