Texas A&M signee announces he will miss All-American Bowl due to COVID-19

COVID-19 continues to affect the sporting world as positive cases continue to rise across the United States.

One person that knows this all too well is Philadelphia defensive end Enai White. The Imhotep Charter star, the country’s No. 3 edge rusher, signed with Texas A&M on Dec. 15 and was set to play in the All-American Bowl on Saturday in San Antonio.

But those plans have been put on hold as White announced on Tuesday that he has tested positive for COVID-19 and won’t play in the game:

can’t play in the @AABonNBC because i caught covid??‍♂️ thanks 4 the opportunity

It’s unfortunate that White won’t be able to participate in such a prestigious event. Hopefully, the early enrollee is able to get back on the mend in short order before heading to College Station to begin his college career.
