Draft Profile: Bio
Jordan White, a center from Liberty, has steadily climbed the ranks of college football. Born and raised in Maryland, White made his mark at DeMatha Catholic High School in Hyattsville, earning All-WCAC Capital Division First Team honors and participating in the prestigious Maryland Crab Bowl. His high school performance caught the attention of several top programs, ultimately leading to his commitment to West Virginia.
At West Virginia, White saw limited action, appearing in 11 games over three seasons with 328 offensive snaps. His breakthrough came after transferring to Liberty for the 2023 season. As a redshirt sophomore, White started all 14 games at center, anchoring an offensive line that powered Liberty to the nation's top rushing offense at 293.3 yards per game.
White's junior year at Liberty has been marked by preseason accolades, including spots on the Outland Trophy and Rimington Trophy watch lists. His sophomore campaign earned him Conference USA All-Conference second team honors and a place on the Phil Steele Postseason Conference USA All-Conference first team. White's durability and consistency were evident as he played 945 of 1,008 offensive snaps, ranking third on the team in total offensive snaps.
Scouting Report: Strengths
- Iron man durability, rarely misses snaps and maintains performance deep into the fourth quarter.
- Road grader in the run game, consistently moves the pile and creates lanes for ball carriers.
- Plus mobility when pulling, shows good hip flip and foot speed to reach the second level.
- Stout anchor in pass pro, sets a wide base and absorbs bull rushes effectively.
- Executes combo blocks with precision, works well in tandem to control the point of attack.
- Gamer who elevates play in the red zone and on crucial downs.
- Key cog in a dominant ground attack, consistently opens holes for chunk plays.
- Position flexible, can moonlight at guard in a pinch.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Undersized for the position, may struggle against NFL nose tackles with superior length and mass.
- Hands tend to land outside the frame, leading to potential holding calls at the next level.
- Limited counters in his toolbox, can be overwhelmed by savvy interior rushers with multiple moves.
- Lacks ideal lateral agility, vulnerable to quick swim moves and cross-face techniques.
- Frame maxed out, unlikely to add significant functional strength without sacrificing mobility.
Scouting Report: Summary
A meat and potatoes center with the chops to contribute in a downhill, power-based rushing attack. Shows plus play strength and leverage to execute drive blocks and seal off defenders in the run game. Adequate athlete who can climb to the second level and execute pulls, but may struggle with elite quickness required for outside zone schemes.
In pass protection, displays a sturdy anchor and good awareness of stunts and blitzes. However, hand placement issues and average lateral agility may limit effectiveness against elite interior pass rushers. Best fit is in a gap/power scheme that maximizes his strengths as a run blocker and minimizes exposure in pass protection.
Day three prospect who could develop into a reliable backup or potential starter in the right system. Will need to refine technique and maximize functional strength to overcome physical limitations. Special teams value and position flexibility boost his stock as a developmental interior lineman.
