Fox 40 Prospect Challenge (West Coast): ATH White is looking to contribute

Playing for ten years, Keelan White has played all over the field. As a running back, receiver, defensive back, and safety, White has racked up the accolades for his efforts. He’s been an MVP multiple times, Athlete of the Year with Windsor high school as well as Defensive player and Running back of the Year. With Handsworth, he was awarded the Best Running back for the JV team. He also played on the provincial team this past season.

I am looking to contribute to our Handsworth Royals football program. So that our school can be as successful as we can. I am very thankful that the Handsworth program has accepted me and I want to be a positive contributor to the program.”

The 6’1 and 170-pound athlete is fiercely competitive. White says, “I love playing football because it is very competitive and I like that and I don’t see why else it is the best team sport in the world. I feel that if I keep working football will get me somewhere where I can be successful.”

He also explains that he tries to model his work ethic and play after certain professional players.

A football player whom I’ve followed throughout his career is Odell Beckham junior. He is my role model because I have been practicing and practicing to get hands like him and I feel that has really improved my game at the wide receiver perspective.”

And by practicing, White works out at Game Ready three times a week in order to improve his strength and football skills. He also trains with them a couple nights a week in order to develop into the best football player he can.

The CFCFPC is a chance for him to showcase these skills and his highly competitive drive and passion. “I would love to have the opportunity to play a sport at the highest level I am able to.  I am hoping to learn from the program to further improve my skills,” he says.
