Scouting Report: Strengths
- Super athletic - Made Bruce Feldman's 2023 Freak's List at #67. He Wrote: "holds the Alabama state record with 3,517 rushing yards (in just 11 games), is a strongman in the weight room, squatting 620 pounds, benching 360 and power-cleaning 350. He also vertical-jumped 40 inches and broad-jumped 10-4."
- Demonstrated the ability to track the ball over his shoulder. Good flexibility and balance to adjust to the poorly thrown pass. Good vision and patience for screens.
- He’s aggressive and willing, with more than enough size, when asked to chip block or pick up blitzers. White has the potential to be one of the league’s best in that area.
- He consistently falls forward, and White will also bounce off of or shake loose from a couple of tackles to turn minimal gains into big runs.
- His competitiveness and knack for high-pointing the ball allow him to play bigger than his size.
- Quick feet with good vision to pick through defenses. White has solid hands and body control and is a reliable receiver.
- Difficult to bring down one-on-one in space, regularly sidesteps would-be tacklers and uses offhand to use oncoming defenders' momentum against them without slowing down significantly.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- White isn’t going to overwhelm opposing defensive backs with speed and athleticism.
- He’s not going to threaten to take the top off of a defense.
- He’s not physically imposing. White is small-framed and won’t be able to carry much more weight.
