High School Career Ends for Oklahoma State QB Commit Carson White
It was a rough final night of the high school football career of Oklahoma State quarterback commitment Carson White. The 6-2, 210 pound dual threat standout and four-star prospect that committed to Oklahoma State and head coach Eric Morris way back in the spring saw his Fort Bend Hightower Hurricanes bow out in the bi-district round of the UIL Texas Class 6A playoffs. It was a game that had more connections to Oklahoma State than just White as Katy Thompkins High School led start to finish in a 36-22 win at Legacy Stadium in Katy, Texas.
Katy Thompkins took the opening kickoff and drove for the first score. Then on Hightower’s first possession, Zach Jury stepped in front of a Hightower receiver to intercept Carson White’s first pass of the game. Thompkins made good on the short drive and led 13-0.
White came back and set up Hightower’s first score with a long scramble. That set up Hightower and White for an 11-yard touchdown run to make it 13-7.
After Thompkins went up 20-7, White came back and scored on a 33-yard run and narrowed the deficit to 20-14. Before halftime, Thompkins kicker Mauricio Vzquez hit his first of three field goals in the game. Oklahoma State and others should check Vzquez out as his placement kicks get great height in a hurry and he covers lots of distance as well.
The other Oklahoma State connection to the game surfaced in the third quarter. Actually, Carter Young, the senior do-it-all player for Thompkins and the younger brother of Cowboys slot receiver Wyatt Young, caught his second reception of the game. This time after hauling in the 20-yard pass, Young picked up the remaining 20 and the last 10-yards after a sensational move and cut to finish the 40-yard scoring play. Thompkins led 30-14.
On the last big play of his high school career, White threw a 31-yard strike into the end zone to favorite receiver Kentrell Mosley for a touchdown. Hightower trailed late in the third quarter 30-22. Two more field goals by Vzquez completed the scoring and Thompkins ran off most of the final five minutes on the clock in driving to the final three-pointer.
White, who is set to enroll and be at Oklahoma State for the spring, finishes with a prep career that had him quarterback Iowa Colony in three playoff appearances and then this final one at Fort Bend Hightower. The Hurricanes finished this season 7-4.
