West Virginia RB Jahiem White Expected Out For Season With Knee Injury

West Virginia running back Jahiem White is expected to miss the remainder of the 2025 season due to a serious knee injury sustained during the team's loss to Ohio. White, a preseason All-Big 12 selection who was central to coach Rich Rodriguez's run-heavy offense, suffered the injury on a horse-collar tackle and had to be carted off the field. His absence is a significant blow to the Mountaineers, who relied on his explosive playmaking and rushing ability, as he led the team in rushing the previous year and was poised for another strong season. Wide receiver Jaden Bray also suffered an injury in the same game, further impacting the team's offensive options. With White out, backup running backs like Clay Ash and Cyncir Bowers will have to step up, but the team faces lowered expectations and a tougher path to success this season. West Virginia will look to adapt quickly as they prepare for their upcoming rivalry game against Pittsburgh.
