Aztecs’ disruptive edge presence and one of the Mountain West’s best pass-rush weapons
Trey White has been a tone-setting defender for San Diego State, breaking out in 2024 with 12.5 sacks to rank fifth nationally and following it with another impact season in 2025, when he finished with 41 tackles, 8.5 tackles for loss, and 6.0 sacks in 10 games. He’s a high-motor edge player who brings real closing speed, backfield production, and playmaking juice, and that kind of consistent disruption is hard to fake. The only catch: his profile points more to a havoc creator than a pure coverage linebacker, so the fit is best for a defense that wants pressure first and asks its LB/edge group to wreck game plans.
