Draft Profile: Bio
After high school, White opted to join Arkansas.In 2019 as a freshman White saw action in just 2 games for the Razorbacks as he made 2 receptions for just 27 yards for an average of 13.5 yards per reception, with no TDs, and an excellent QB rating when targeted of 118.8.
As a sophomore in 2020 he played 7 games
As a junior in 2021 he played 4 games and hauled in just one catch for just 19 yards for an average of 19.0 yards per catch, with no TDs, and an excellent QB rating when targeted of 118.8.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Although White is more of a possession target than a field stretcher, he fiercely competitive demeanor and run-after-catch ability make him a major threat in the middle of the field.
- White has quick feet and good body control, allowing him to gear down and quickly get in and out of cuts. His hands are good, and he’s a creative runner after the catch with the elusiveness to slip tackles in space.
- He plays with a smoothness and balance, and he shows a knack for setting up defensive backs.
- He has strong hands and is extremely competitive, and he has an innate sense of timing when it comes to elevating and high-pointing balls.
- White also has value as a catch-and-run threat, running hard and consistently picking up yards after the catch.
- Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he's rarely caught from behind.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- White also had problems with drops when coming back to the action. He has some issues against press coverage, sometimes spending too much time hand fighting at the line of scrimmage.
- His ability to track the ball is good enough, but White too often let the ball get into his body downfield rather than snatching it with his hands.
- White also lacks suddenness as a route runner, and that is a potential issue at the next level.
