White attended Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory School in Hollywood, Florida for 3 years before transferring to University School of Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for his senior season. White finished his high school career with over 8,400 yards and 117 total TDs. In the summer of 2013, White won the Elite 11 QB competition MVP with future NFL QBs such as Deshaun Watson, Kyle Allen, DeShone Kizer, and Will Grier in attendance. [2] He earned 1st-Team All-Broward County 3 times, and was MVP of the 2014 Under Armour All-America Game after completing 10/12 passes for 156 yards and a touchdown. [3] White was rated a 4-star recruit by Rivals.com and ranked among the top quarterbacks in his class. [4] He committed to Auburn University to play college football. [5] [6]
White redshirted his first year at Auburn in 2014. [7] He began his RS freshman year in 2015 as backup to Jeremy Johnson, but was named starter after 3 weeks, starting his 1st game against Mississippi St and Dak Prescott. [8] [9] White started 6 games in 2015, becoming the 1st Freshman QB in Auburn history to throw for 250 or more yards in 3 straight games (Ole Miss, Kentucky, and Arkansas). Injuries caused White to miss the final games of the regular season. [10]
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. [10] After 10 weeks, White had the 3rd best Completion % in the FBS, and #1 Passer Rating in the SEC, leading an efficient Auburn offense to a 6-game win streak and inside the Top 10. [11] Auburn’s playoff hopes ended when a separated shoulder hampered White in the following game and Auburn lost to Georgia in Athens. After missing the Iron Bowl with injury, White returned to play in the Sugar Bowl against Baker Mayfield’s Oklahoma, but a broken arm forced White to be replaced in the 2nd quarter. [12] White finished 2016 with 1,679 passing yards, 11 touchdowns, 3 interceptions, and a 63.9 completion percentage.
In 2017, White, who’s injury from the Sugar Bowl prevented participation in 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. [13]

White was arrested and charged with public intoxication shortly before 3 a.m. on Homecoming Night, September 17, 2017. [13] 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." [13] In February 2018, a municipal court judge in the city of Auburn dismissed the public intoxication charge against White. [14]
After leaving Auburn, White was left with several injuries, and despite offers to join other P5 programs, chose to finish his finance degree at Florida International University, graduating magna cum laude. White currently lives in Boston, MA. [15]
