This past Spring I made an observation comment on White. I “noted” his time at FSU where they chose to put him at a different position than RB. I then again “noted” that while he was at his JUCO team last season, he indeed started the season as the favored RB, and did well vs. that level of competition, very well. But the comment I got flack for was that I noticed he was passed by another RB on that JUCO team by year’s end for most carries....a player that did equally well against that level of competition. Fast forward, White is here now. We have a few reports that the staff likes what they see from him. We have more reports about the other tailbacks competing tbh. Not sure what this means, maybe the staff has really found a great RB and are hiding this info for competitive reasons or else White is not above what was already on the roster. I guess we find out soon enough, but there are two things I think I know. First, Lloyd was better than all by a large margin, he was going to be THE back by all accounts. Second, unless there is subterfuge being utilized by the staff, the competition for starting tailback post Lloyd is crowded, and White is being discussed less by the staff lately than those that were already on the roster. I wonder if he is a clear number one now or just one of the 2-3 that will tote the rock. Because if White is not a very high level type SEC back, we have a group of what appears to be solid albeit not game changer types at that position, i.e., we are middle of the road at best in this conference at tailback.
