He stands 6-foot-3, 300 lbs. and has been an impressive force in the middle during his time at Aberdeen High School. Across two seasons of varsity play, the Maryland native has compiled 81 tackles, 21.0 TFL's and 11.0 sacks. He's been a near constant figure in opposing team's backfields, using his massive frame to easily shed blockers.
While Whittington is still unranked as a prospect, he already possesses a division one build, and has put many elite skills on display throughout his brief varsity career thus far.
With the addition of the talented defender, the Eagles are now up to four commits in the 2027 class, and are currently ranked as the No. 20 class in the nation, according to 247Sports' composite ranking.
