Devin White (born February 17, 1998) is an American football linebacker for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
High school career
White was a controversial recruit out of high school, having multiple run-ins with police. In November 2015, he and his teammate Keuntra Gipson were arrested for having consensual sex with a 14-year-old, a misdemeanor in Louisiana.[1] One month later, White was arrested for misdemeanor charges of “careless operation of a motor vehicle and flight from an officer.”[2] Because of his legal situation, White was dismissed from the 2015 Under Armour All-America Game.[3] Despite these controversies, he was still able to sign with LSU to play football.[4]
College career
In his sophomore season at LSU, White led the SEC in tackles with 133 total, the 4th most tackles in a single season in school history.[5] He also became the first player in SEC history to be named Defensive Player of the week 4 times in the same season.[6] Following his junior year, White decided to forego his senior year and enter the 2019 NFL Draft.
