Avery White brings SEC-size upside and a defensive-toughness background to Southern Miss
A 6-foot-4, 220-pound redshirt junior tight end from Hurley, Mississippi, White offers ideal frame-and-athleticism potential for Southern Miss, with a football pedigree that includes being East Central’s 2018 Class 4A Defensive Player of the Year and a high-motor, physical style that translates well to the tight end spot. In the 2023 season, he logged 1 reception for 5 yards and also contributed on defense, which suggests a versatile, team-first player rather than a pure volume producer. If your team wants a developmental TE with toughness, local roots, and room to grow, he’s a reasonable fit.
