TJ White brings SEC-ready size, relentless motor, and real pass-rush juice to Tennessee
TJ White, a 2026 high-school linebacker from Jackson Academy, is a top-10 national LB prospect who committed to Tennessee and enrolled early in January 2026; he’s built like a modern downhill disruptor at roughly 6-2, 237 and backed it up with a huge 2024 season of 102 tackles, 21.5 tackles for loss, and 11 sacks. He stands out for his explosion, versatility, and intensity, with multiple evaluators praising his motor and “coming to hit” mentality. In short: he looks like a fit if a team wants a physical, high-IQ defender who can chase plays, blitz, and set a tone.
