Sean Michael White (born November 10, 1995) is an American football quarterback who formerly played for the Auburn Tigers.
White attended Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory School in Hollywood, Florida for his first 3 years of high school before transferring to University School of Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for his senior year. White finished his high school career with over 8,300 yards and 107 total TDs. The summer before his senior season, White won the Elite 11 QB competition, despite several future NFL starters attending such as Deshaun Watson, Kyle Allen, DeShone Kizer, and Will Grier. He passed for 2,679 yards and 30 touchdowns as a senior, earning 1st-Team All Broward County honors. He was the MVP of the 2014 Under Armour All-America Game after completing 10 of 12 passes for 156 yards with a touchdown. [1] White was rated as a four-star recruit by Rivals.com and was ranked among the top quarterbacks in his class. [2] He committed to Auburn University to play college football. [3] [4]
White redshirted his first year at Auburn in 2014. [5] He started his redshirt freshman year in 2015 as the backup to Jeremy Johnson. After three games, Johnson was benched and White was named the starter. White started his first college game vs Mississippi State. [6] [7] White started a total of six games in 2015. He became the first freshman QB in Auburn history to throw for 250 or more yards in three straight games, doing so against Kentucky, Arkansas, and Ole Miss. Injuries to left knee and foot caused White to miss the final games of the regular season. White finished the year with 1,167 passing yards, one touchdown pass against four interceptions, and a 58 percent completion percentage. [8]
In 2016, White battled Jeremy Johnson and John Franklin III for the starting quarterback job. On August 25, 2016, White was named the starting quarterback by head coach Gus Malzahn. [8] White played in 11 games, including a mid-season 6 game winning streak that pushed Auburn to 7-2 and inside the top 10 (#9). After 10 weeks, White had the #3 comp pct in the FBS, heading into Auburn’s annual rivalry with Georgia. A shoulder injury early derailed that game and subsequently the 2016 season. White returned to play in the Sugar Bowl against Baker Mayfield and Oklahoma, but a broken arm caused White to be replaced in the second quarter. White finished 2016 with 1,679 passing yards, 9 touchdowns, 3 interceptions, and a 63.9 completion percentage.
In 2017, White, injured with the broken arm for Spring practice, lost the position of starting quarterback to Baylor transfer Jarrett Stidham.
On September 18, 2017, White was dismissed from the team following a public intoxication arrest. [9]

[9] Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn dismissed White from the team the next day, stating: "He has made poor decisions that are not in the best interest of our program, and more importantly, himself." [9] In February 2018, a municipal court judge in the city of Auburn dismissed the public intoxication charge against White. [10]
After leaving Auburn, White was left with several injuries and despite offers to join other P5 programs, decided to retire from football and obtain his finance degree from Florida International University. He graduated magna cum laude, and lives in Boston, MA.
