A Freakish Athlete. Was on Bruce Feldman’s FreaksList – Can jump 32″ bench 38 reps and has hit 21 mph running.
Hits all the size measurables and then some. Also has great length.
A do-it-all defensive lineman who is versatile enough to line up all over the defensive front.
Can play inside or edge. Has the athletic ability to be more than competent at both.
Has the freakish speed to be a force on the edge but the raw strength and down to cause disruption inside.
Incredibly high motor. Is a player who never gives up and it is consistent on every play
His power profile allows him to drive opponents back with his aggressive abrupt brute force.
Has the athletic ability to chase down runners in the run game
Strength and quickness allow him to shed blocks to get after runners.
Can drop into coverage when asked. Is sticky when doing so. While you may not want him to do this a lot it is a great string to his bow and shows the type of player you are getting.
Takes on double teams and tries on beating them. He has the horsepower, clout and extortion to stress those tasked with blocking him
His hand placement is strong and punchy and creates shockwaves through opponents.
He has hands like hooks and once he gets his hands on you they don’t leave. It leaves him in full control
WEAKNESSES
While his hand placement is physical it could become more accurate and cleaner
Is still fresh to the position having been recruited as a tight end. Transitioned to defensive line in 2019. Had 124 yards off 11 passes as a freshman tight end in 2018.
Would like to see a better arsenal of skill moves to deploy
Doesn’t have a clean push/pull move to free up space to attack.
Needs to lower his pad level against the run. He can get caught too high and then he can’t win back the leverage that he has sacrificed.
SUMMARY
Keion White is a versatile defensive lineman who can win with both strength and speed. White Transferred to Georgia Tech from Old Dominion where he was from 2017-20, where he played TE before transitioning in 2019. He has elite-level athlete ability and it gives him the base to perform at an incredibly high level on an NFL team. His skill set may be best suited to a 3-4 defensive end where he can utilise his raw, natural tools. Keion White has all the traits to be a success at the next level and with some refinement will be a provocative force on any defensive line from day 1.
