Tigers cornerback Tre’Davious White made his presence known on the football field as soon as he stepped on LSU’s campus. He was a four-year starter who earned All-American honors this past season.

White earned freshman All-SEC honors back in 2013, racking up 55 total tackles (39 solo, 16 assisted), 7 pass breakups, 2.5 tackles for loss, 2 interceptions and a forced fumble.

White had just 35 total tackles (19 solo, 16 assisted) this past season. But he also had 14 pass break ups, 4.0 tackles for loss, two interceptions and an interception return for a touchdown.

He finished 2016 as a first-team All-American and first-team All-SEC selection. He’s got great patience in press coverage and has experience in the punt return game. He had 688 punt return yards and three punt return touchdowns through 2014-16.

White serves as another defensive back with pro-level skill out of LSU. His experience against SEC offenses will serve him well at the next level. With his 4.47 speed in the 40-yard dash, he’s currently projected to be drafted anywhere between the first and second rounds.
