Edison’s White helps Broncos to No. 5

Edison High product Hunter White has shined at linebacker, helping the Boise State football team make history.

The sophomore led the Broncos (4-0) with seven tackles as they topped Bowling Green, 49-14, on Saturday. The win moved Boise State up three spots to No. 5 in both the AP and USA Today national polls, which is the highest regular-season ranking in school history. The Broncos were also ranked No. 5 in the final AP poll of 2006, following their memorable 43-42 win over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl.

White has 14 tackles on the season, tied for fourth on the team. The son of Edison football coach Dave White, Hunter helped lead the 2006 Edison team to the CIF Southern Section Pac-5 Division championship game.
