Expert Analysis
Will Helms | Prep Redzone Scout
The best offensive linemen have a mean streak on the field, and White is nasty. He finishes every block and plays through the whistle. He has some versatility, but I personally like him best as a guard, which he plays at Rolesville. He has a good initial step in pass protection and keeps a strong base, rarely overreaching. Even when he loses ground initially, he’s an expert at resetting his feet and winning a rep. That’s something we don’t often see from a high schooler, and it speaks to his attitude.

Read EvaluationWill Helms | Prep Redzone Scout
White has flown under the radar on a solid offensive line unit, and his experience will be key in 2026. The Rams lose a few vets, and while they have some talented underclassmen, this offensive line is lacking in proven contributors. White has taken his game to another level, and he’s attacked his recovery from a knee injury. Now fully healthy, the recent North Carolina Central commit should be a huge part of a strong offensive unit.
