[7] White began his RS freshman year in 2015 as backup to Jeremy Johnson, but was named starter after 3 weeks. He made his first collegiate start against Mississippi State and Dak Prescott. [8] [9] White went on to start 6 games in 2015, becoming the 1st freshman QB in Auburn history to throw for 250+ yards in 3 straight games (Ole Miss, Kentucky, and Arkansas). Injuries caused him to miss the final games of the regular season, including the Iron Bowl. [10]
In 2016, White was named starting quarterback by Gus Malzahn after battling Jeremy Johnson and JUCO transfer John Franklin III for the job. [10] After 9 weeks, he held the best passer rating in the SEC, leading Auburn (7-2) to a 6-game win streak and inside the Top 10. [11]
After suffering a separated shoulder in a 40-29 win over Ole Miss in Week 8, [12] he was initially held out in the following game against Vanderbilt. With Auburn trailing 13-10, an injured White came off the bench to go 10/13 for 106 yards and a go-ahead touchdown, leading Auburn to a 23-17 win. [13] However, Auburn's playoff hopes would end the next week when the injury hampered White on the road against Georgia, and the Tigers lost in Athens. After missing the Iron Bowl, White returned to play in the Sugar Bowl against Oklahoma and Baker Mayfield, but was forced to be replaced in the 2nd quarter after breaking his arm. [14]
White finished 2016 with 1,679 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, 3 interceptions, and led the SEC with a 63.9 completion percentage. [15]
In 2017, White, who's injuries kept him out of Spring practice, lost the position of starting quarterback to Baylor transfer Jarrett Stidham. On September 18, 2017, he was dismissed from the team following a public intoxication arrest, ending his career at Auburn. [16]
