Early years

Selected to participate in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl, White was the starting quarterback for the West. He was one of 16 nominees for the U.S. Army National Player of the Year in 2014 and threw for 3,725 yards with 45 passing touchdowns in 12 games as a senior, earning Second-Team All-America honors by MaxPreps as a junior. He is regarded as one of ASU's highest recruits.[1]

After graduating from Arizona State, White announced on January 16, 2018, that he was going to be a graduate transfer to the University of Memphis.[3] In May 2019, he was granted an extra year of eligibility due to his injury at ASU. Earning his master's degree in sports commerce in August 2019, White enrolled in the university's doctoral program in liberal studies in Fall 2019.

In 2020, White led the Tigers to an 8–3 record and a Montgomery Bowl victory. Starting all 11 games of the season, he completed 254 of 420 passes for 3,380 yards, with 31 touchdowns and 10 interceptions.
