White had 218 catches over three seasons at UNLV, racking up over 3,000 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns. His special teams abilities are outstanding, having blocked four punts and returned a punt for a touchdown in his final collegiate season.
Check out The Athletic draft analyst Dane Brugler’s write-up:
A three-year starter at UNLV, White was an inside-outside wide receiver in former offensive coordinator Brennan Marion’s “go-go” up-tempo offense, lining up mostly wide (65.5 percent of snaps) with slot reps mixed in (34.5 percent). After an unceremonious end to his time in East Lansing, he landed at UNLV and emerged as the team’s top receiving option, eventually becoming the first player in school history with multiple 1,000-yard receiving seasons (also finished No. 2 in program history in career catches).
A tall, thin athlete, White was given the nickname “Slick Rick” by his former Michigan State teammate Jayden Reed. He is a slippery route runner and ball carrier with terrific tracking skills, although he lacks the physicality to be a consistent 50-50 target. He registered four blocked punts in 2024, and his special teams attitude will serve him well in the NFL. Overall, White is a bursty receiving option who can earn meaningful NFL snaps on offense with continued technical fine-tuning of his routes and catch-point consistency. His special teams impact should help separate him on draft boards — and on an NFL depth chart.
