John White is the next-man-up QB with real spring buzz at Southern Miss
In the 2024 season, Southern Miss quarterback John White flashed a live arm in limited action, throwing for 240 yards with no touchdowns and 3 interceptions across four games, and he entered 2026 as the contender to replace departing starter Braylon Braxton. He’s a redshirt sophomore with a solid 6-foot, 193-pound frame and has drawn spring-practice attention for climbing the depth chart, which suggests confidence and development even if the production sample is still tiny. If your team wants an upside QB who may still be growing into the role, he’s worth a close look.
