Scouting Report: Strengths
- Possesses agile feet with the patience, balance and vision to sidestep and elude defenders - nice job following his blocks and working well in tight areas. Physical at the point of attack and keeps his feet moving
- Has the feet and feel running between the tackles and in the open field. White has very good vision and patience to pick through defenses.
- He has a naturally low center of gravity and knows how to use it to his advantage, staying low and playing peek-a-boo behind linemen and darting forward once White finds a crease.
- Compactly built with good muscle mass on his frame and natural strength. Stays balanced and runs with low pad level and toughness
- White accelerates 0-to-60 and hits top speed fast enough to outrun angles. He’s also flexible and agile, able to keep the pedal to the floor as he turns and weaves.
- He’s not for everyone, but he is an electrifying playmaker and has a chance to be an impact player in a limited role at the next level.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- White doesn’t have the ability as a run blocker or the violent run-after-catch ability.
- White has constantly ran a limited route tree.
- Has a lean frame and lacks ideal bulk or muscle for the position. Doesn't have great strength, lacking a power element to his game to break many tackles.
