High School Career Ends for Oklahoma State QB Commit Carson White

It was a rough final night of the high school football career of Oklahoma State quarterback commitment Carson White. The 6-2, 210 pound dual threat standout and four-star prospect that committed to Oklahoma State and head coach Eric Morris way back in the spring saw his Fort Bend Hightower Hurricanes bow out in the bi-district round of the UIL Texas Class 6A playoffs. It was a game that had more connections to Oklahoma State than just White as Katy Thompkins High School led start to finish in a 36-22 win at Legacy Stadium in Katy, Texas.
