Tre'Davious White (born January 16, 1995) is an American football cornerback. He played college football at LSU.

Early years

White attended Green Oaks High School in Shreveport, Louisiana. He played both cornerback and quarterback in high school. He was rated by Rivals.com as a five-star recruit and was ranked as the fourth best cornerback and 18th best overall player in his class.[1] White committed to Louisiana State University (LSU) to play college football.[2]

College career

As a true freshman at LSU, White played in 13 games with 11 starts. He finished the season with 55 tackles and two interceptions.[3] As a sophomore in 2014 he started all 13 games and also served as the punt returner. He recorded 33 tackles, two interceptions and a punt return touchdown.[4][5] As a junior, he was chosen to wear the No. 18 jersey, which signifies the player with the best leadership qualities on the team.[6] He finished the year with 44 tackles and returned a punt 69 yards for a touchdown against Syracuse. The Associated Press and Southeastern Conference (SEC) coaches both selected White for their All-SEC second team.[7][8] White was expected to be a late first-round choice in the 2016 NFL Draft, but he instead chose to return to LSU for his senior season.[9] After the season, he earned first-team All-SEC honors from the AP.[10]
