Meet Utah Utes women's basketball's 'Energizer Bunny.'
Utah Utes guard Lani White celebrates as Utah hosts Princeton, NCAA basketball in Salt Lake City on Sunday, March 19, 2023.
Those moments belong to Lani White, the Utah women’s basketball team’s guard who earned rotation minutes as a true freshman last season. She also earned a nickname from coach Lynne Roberts.White has always been an extroverted person. Her parents call her a “social butterfly.” Now a sophomore with the Utes, White wants to parlay what comes naturally to her.
White is known for not being shy. When she’s on the bench, she’s either yelling instructions to her teammates and echoing words from the coaching staff, or dancing the Griddy, bop or Quan. In one video posted by the team on social media, White can be seen dancing as a referee walks by. She playfully sticks out her tongue to the ref, prompting a smile in return.
“When things get hard — and they always do — it’s fun to have somebody that is goofy and you can tease and she’ll tease you right back,” Roberts said.
