South Dakota freshman WR Brayden White is already flashing big-play value on special teams
White’s early calling card is explosiveness: as a true freshman in the 2025 season, he appeared in seven games for South Dakota, led the team with 30.1 yards per kickoff return, and logged two returns of 60+ yards, including a 69-yard burst in the FCS playoffs; offensively, he had two catches for one yard.[7][1] That profile says “dynamic depth piece” more than finished product, but his speed, return ability, and willingness to impact games in multiple phases make him a useful fit for a team that wants an instant energy player with upside.[7]
