Expert Analysis

Prep Redzone Lead Scout

The 6’1″ 200 pound linebacker is an absolute steal for Western Illinois. I am not quite sure exactly what power 4 programs do not see here. He is a thick bodied linebacker with explosive athleticism. Elite tackler that reads the play in front of him and attacks. So good in coverage too as we saw him in person pick off multiple passes including a pick six. Explosive pass rusher that brings down opponents in space.

White comes in as the #2 linebacker in the Illinois 2027 class. Really like his ability in the run game, but we were able to focus on his coverage skills in this setting. He won consistently in coverage showing his use of leverage, closing ground quickly, and making plays on the ball. He has the look of a Group of 5+/Power 4 linebacker in my eyes and we believe he is being severely under recruited at this stage.
