Background

Early life

White grew up in Raleigh, North Carolina and attended Garner Magnet High School, where he was a starter at tight end and defensive end on the football team. White was named first team All-Greater Neuse River Conference as a senior after catching 20 catches for 243 yards and four touchdowns. He was rated a three-star recruit and committed to play college football at Old Dominion over offers from Elon, Norfolk State, North Carolina A&T, and Virginia State.

College career

White began his college career playing for the Old Dominion Monarchs, where he initially played tight end.

After redshirting his true freshman season, White started eight games and caught 11 passes for 124 yards as a redshirt freshman.

White moved to defensive end entering his redshirt sophomore season. In his first season on defense, White made 62 tackles with 3.5 sacks and 19 tackles for loss and was named Second-team All-Conference USA.

White opted out of his redshirt junior season in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and eventually entered the NCAA transfer portal.

White ultimately transferred to Georgia Tech. He broke his ankle playing in a pick-up basketball game prior to his transfer and missed the first eight games of the 2021 season. White played in the final four games of the Yellow Jackets' season and recorded four tackles. He used the extra year of eligibility granted to college athletes in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and returned to Georgia Tech for the 2022 season.

Personal life

On February 9, 2026, while attending a Super Bowl LX party in San Francisco, White had a disagreement with prominent rapper Lil Baby resulting in White being shot in the ankle and received emergency surgery the same day. He recovered from being shot and resumed playing the next NFL season.
