At 6'3” 160 lbs. he's got great long speed to stretch the field but also shows the fluidity and change of direction to get in and out of his breaks at the short and intermediate levels. Flashes good technique and creativity releasing off both press and off coverage and is quick to gain separation. Strong hands with the body control to make contested catches in traffic or high point a ball using his length and leaping ability. Explosive after the catch, he can extend gains by cutting around defenders in space or running through contact. Offered by over half the schools of what used to be the PAC12 but has national recruit potential.rnrn10 Offers: Oregon State, San Jose State, UNLV, Cal, Washington State, Arizona, Oregon, Washington, SDSU, Utah","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d87e80a9dcc"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/cynai_thomas/status/1723828116064452757","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/cynai_thomas/status/1723828116064452757 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401281"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"White checks all the boxes of a major D1 recruit with his size (6'5” 305 lbs.), length (7'1” wingspan), and athleticism. Excelled as guard during his sophomore season when he was voted First Team All State by Cal-Hi Sports but also worked in at tackle. He's a finisher that shows plus natural movement skills with his ability to bend and move his feet combined with his strength to overpower opponents at the POA. Well-rounded blocker that can drive defenders off the ball in the run game, match lateral movement in pass protection, and can get out in front as a pulling guard. Like his initial quickness at the snap to gain leverage and his leg drive through contact. First offered by Louisville as a freshman and has recently seen his recruiting stock on the rise with four new offers in January.rnrn5 Offers: Louisville, ASU, SDSU, UNLV, Utah","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d87e80a9e41"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/malik_white78/status/1721406466748465266","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/malik_white78/status/1721406466748465266 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["780473"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"A dynamic athlete that is quickly climbing rankings and recruiting boards. Since picking up his initial offer from San Diego State a month ago he's added five more including Washington, Cal, Washington State, San Jose State, and UNLV. At 6'1” 165 lbs. his skillset is easily transitioned to multiple positions on either side of the ball at the major D1 level with his combination of speed, short area burst, and natural playmaking ability. As a receiver, he's a high level route runner that sets up his routes with a series of stems and nods then separates with his acceleration out of his breaks. He's got great spatial awareness to find holes in the defense and create a throwing lane. His start/stop speed and ability to breakaway in the open field make him threat to score every time he touches the ball. He's a high ceiling prospect that will continue to be recruited on both sides of the ball.rnrn6 Offers: Washington, Cal, Washington State, UNLV, San Jose State, San Diego State","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d87e80a9ea4"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/Judge_Nash/status/1734687291329986606","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/Judge_Nash/status/1734687291329986606 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed --> <!-- wp:acf/evaluation-block {"name":"acf/evaluation-block","data":{"player_evaluations_0_player":["401274"],"_player_evaluations_0_player":"field_62ab9d62ecf2c","player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"","_player_evaluations_0_override_profile_image":"override-player-profile-image","player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"","_player_evaluations_0_not_in_database":"field_62aba48cecf2d","player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"At 6'3” 185 lbs. he's a strong pocket passer that has savvy athleticism to make plays with his legs. Shows clean footwork and mechanics in the pocket, he's quick to get into his drop and throws off a well-balanced platform with an over the top release to get good extension. Love his mobility in the pocket and how he's able to extend the play by feeling pressure and avoiding sacks. Throws well on the run to either direction without sacrificing arm strength or velocity. Coming off a strong sophomore season throwing for over 3,600 yards and 36 touchdowns while being voted All CIF-Southern Section, First Team All-League, and winning the D5 section. Jumped 25 spots in the overall rankings and is the only prospect in the top 100 without an offer. That should change as the recruiting cycle progresses and he's able to show his skillset. Great upside.","_player_evaluations_0_evaluation":"field_62aba51aecf34","player_evaluations":1,"_player_evaluations":"field_62aba7547dc44"},"mode":"edit","alignText":"left","anchor":"acf-block-65d87e80a9eff"} /--> <!-- wp:embed {"url":"https://twitter.com/KhalilAbdulAz1z/status/1735372749726683465","type":"rich","providerNameSlug":"twitter","responsive":true} --> <figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper"> https://twitter.com/KhalilAbdulAz1z/status/1735372749726683465 </div></figure> <!-- /wp:embed -->
