Devin Marcel White was born on February 17, 1998, in Springhill, Louisiana. He attended North Webster High School where he excelled in football as both a linebacker and running back. Despite early challenges, White committed to Louisiana State University (LSU) to continue his football career. During his sophomore season at LSU, White led the Southeastern Conference (SEC) in tackles with 133, marking the fourth-highest single-season total in school history. He was also the first player in SEC history to receive the Defensive Player of the Week honor four times in one season. After his junior year, White declared for the NFL Draft.
White was drafted by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in the first round as the fifth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, becoming the highest-drafted LSU defensive player since 2011 and the highest-drafted linebacker in LSU’s history. He signed a four-year, fully guaranteed contract worth 29.32 million dollars, including a 19.34 million dollar signing bonus. In his rookie season, White made an immediate impact despite an MCL sprain that caused him to miss three games. He finished his inaugural year with 91 total tackles, 2.5 sacks, three forced fumbles, four fumble recoveries, and two fumble return touchdowns, earning a spot on the PFWA All-Rookie Team. His consistent performance led to him being named NFC Defensive Rookie of the Month twice during the season.
The 2020 season was a significant year for White, as he recorded a team-best 140 tackles and nine sacks, contributing to the Buccaneers’ success. He played a crucial role in the team’s journey to Super Bowl LV, where he made 12 tackles and secured a game-sealing interception against Patrick Mahomes, helping the Buccaneers win the championship. He was recognized with Second-team All-Pro honors and was selected for the Pro Bowl in 2021. After spending five seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, White moved to the Philadelphia Eagles in 2024, followed by a stint with the Houston Texans, and eventually signed with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025.
