DeJae White brings blue-chip upside and downhill thump to MSU’s linebacker room
A redshirt freshman in the 2026 season, DeJae White arrives at Michigan State as a former No. 1 linebacker in Michigan and a four-star recruit who led Orchard Lake St. Mary’s with 113 tackles, showing the kind of instinctive, run-diagnosing style that pops on tape. He’s repeatedly described as a fast-processing defender who can shoot gaps and create interior pressure, which makes him a strong fit if your team wants a linebacker with striking range, physicality, and long-term starter traits. The key question is development and health, not talent.
