In a Spartan Nation exclusive, Michigan State Football, Jonathan Smith commit D.J. White opens up.
Michigan State 2025 three-star commit DJ White competed in the 2024 Michigan High School Athletic Association Division II state finals for track and field on Saturday.
"We had a lot of wind," White told Spartan Nation moments after his seventh place finish. "The weather wasn't as good. I feel like I work hard, I'm very competitive, so I mean, it sounds good to be All-State again, it's a blessing to be All-State again. I'm very competitive, but, the weather can change a lot when it comes to track, the Division I times are even going up so, weather had a big part of that.
"I think it translates like really well, because track is kind of a reaction time ," White said. "Especially being a hurdler -- getting out the blocks and getting to that first two hurdles, it's all about reaction time, quickness, turnover speed. So, translating that to the field, you get a counter play where you're going one way and that turnover speed will get you to cut back another way to make a play.
