Tavian White brings twitch, versatility and high-upside DB value to Minnesota
In the 2025 season, Tavian White arrives at Minnesota as a freshman defensive back with real multi-position flexibility, having played free safety, cornerback and strong safety in high school while also contributing at wide receiver. He’s the kind of fit coaches love: rangy, fast, and competitive, with reports of a 4.4-second 40-yard dash and impact plays on special teams and defense, including five pass breakups and two blocked field goals in seven games as a senior. The buzz is less about raw rankings and more about an athlete who plays with juice, versatility and upside.
