[3] Following two years at Lackawanna College, White committed to West Virginia, passing on scholarship opportunities from Pittsburgh, Arizona State, Louisville, and Illinois.

[13] Head coach Anthony Lynn named White the backup weakside linebacker behind Brown to start the regular season.

[14] But an hour before kickoff in the Chargers' season-opener, it was reported Lynn has instead elected to start White alongside Kyle Emanuel and middle linebacker Denzel Perryman.

[15] White made his professional regular season debut and first career start on September 9, 2018, in the Chargers' season-opener against the Kansas City Chiefs and recorded six combined tackles in their 38–28 loss.

On September 16, 2018, White recorded four solo tackles, broke up two passes, and made his first career interception during a 31–20 win at the Buffalo Bills in Week 2.

He made his first career interception off a pass thrown by Bills' rookie quarterback Josh Allen intended for tight end Jason Croom, and returned it for a nine-yard gain in the game's fourth quarter.

[4] White's older brother Kevin is a wide receiver who was drafted by the Chicago Bears in the first round in 2015 and later played with the New Orleans Saints and San Francisco 49ers.
