Brandon White brings freshman burst to Kent State’s backfield
In the 2026 season, Kent State freshman RB Brandon White has started with 5 carries for 14 yards in the opener, showing a compact 5-foot-8, 190-pound build that suggests a low-center, tackle-breaking style[2][3]. He’s a young, active piece with early-game usage and no reported fumbles, which matters for a back trying to earn more trust in a thin rotation[2][3]. The fit: intriguing if you want a physical, developmental runner with Ohio roots and room to grow, but the tape and production sample are still very small[1][2].
