Jamo White on Penn State: “I chose Penn State because of the trust and connection I’ve built with the coaching staff. From day one, they’ve made it clear that Penn State is a place where players are developed on and off the court. The program’s tradition, work ethic, and family atmosphere align perfectly with my values and goals. I know the opportunity here will push me to reach my full potential as both a player and a person.
