Roxy White, a f-foot-11 versatile small forward from Frankfort, Ill., has been a standout at Example Academy, competing on the school’s national team against elite prep programs like IMG Academy, SPIRE Academy, AZ Compass Prep, Mt. Zion Prep, and Montverde Academy.
White has earned numerous accolades, including team MVP, Grind Session Under the Radar Player of the Year, and three-time Grind Session Game MVP. She was also named MVP twice at the Insider Exposure Tournament in Jacksonville, Fla., and at the She Got Game Classic in Atlanta, GA.
“We’re are so excited to welcome Roxy to our program!” Arizona coach Adia Barnes said in a press release.
“She’s a fierce competitor who brings strength, toughness, and incredible versatility to the court. Roxy’s ability to excel at multiple positions reminds me of me as a player—she’s got that ‘dawg’ mentality and plays with a chip on her shoulder. I can’t wait to see the impact she’ll make here!”
