Since he is in the MLS Draft and has spent some time developing his game here in Toronto (attended highschool in Scarborough), I am wondering what his current national status would be if TFC selected in the superdraft? I have heard comments that he has been capped by Jamaica and have heard other comments that this was in a junior torunament meaning he is not cap-tied to any nation ATM. Can someone please clarify what his status would be in the MLS with TFC and/or his FIFA status with Canada. Also, it would be nice to back up any comments with facts/dates of when he apparently was Cap-tied with Jamaica. I am just lost when it comes to him....

O'Brian White
Birthdate: 1985-12-15 23 years old.Position: StrikerDraft Class: 2009Height: 6'0Weight: 180College: UConnLast years Hermann Trophy winner is off to another great season and is expected to be the top striker for the 2008 draft. I wouldn’t be surprised if whoever takes him wants him to be a starting striker from the start of the season. His speed and strength is what makes him such an attacking force in the NCAA and all the scouts wonder if he can still have that kind of advantage in the MLS where everyone is stronger and quicker.
Expect him to be a top 5 pick as long as he continues on the same pace as his '07 season (23 Goals, 7 Assists)
