Upper Dublin High School senior and track standout Jaden Price-Whitehead announced this week that he has committed to the University of South Carolina.
Milesplit.com ranked Price-Whitehead as the 11th best track and field recruit in the nation. From MileSplit.com:
The Upper Dublin (PA) senior is arguably the top long jump athlete in the country for the 2021 season, and among the best two-way horizontal jump athletes in the United States — Johnny Brackins and Floyd Witaker are also highly coveted prospects.
Price-Whitehead hit a US No. 1 mark of 25-feet for the long jump indoors in February, along with two other marks over 24 feet across the season. He also captured two marks over 47-feet for the triple jump for good measure.
Price-Whitehead also considered the University of North Carolina, the University of Arizona, the University of Oklahoma, Baylor University, and Cornell University.
