It took until Years 4 and 5, but the breakout came and it was glorious. White spent the first two seasons of his career at Michigan State, transferred to UNLV, and then went absolutely bananas (2,524 receiving yards) in his second and third seasons with the Runnin' Rebels. He finished his career with more gains of 50+ yards than any player in the 2025 class, in spite of 4.61 speed. Will it translate to the pros? White averaged 3.88 yards per route run vs. non Power Four schools in 2023-24, but that rate dropped to 2.86 vs. Power Four competition. He was bottled up for just four receiving yards on nine targets vs. Kansas. Houston held White to 11 yards on six targets. White has plenty of believers, but Round 7 draft capital probably is accurate in summing up his chances of becoming a productive pro. He is not worth drafting outside of the deepest leagues.

Ricky White: Heads to practice squad
Rotowire
White signed with the Seahawks' practice squad Wednesday.
White was extremely productive at UNLV with 167 catches for 2,524 yards and 19 touchdowns across his final two seasons, but his 4.61 40-yard dash was a glaring weak spot for a 6-foot-1, 184-pound receiver. He struggled in preseason with just three receptions for 40 yards over three games, and he lost out to Dareke Young and Cody White for the final two wideout spots. White now has a chance to develop on the Seahawks' scout team.

White caught one of two targets for six yards in Saturday's 20-7 preseason loss to the Packers.
The rookie seventh-round pick has had an uneventful preseason with just three receptions for 40 yards through three games. White has an intriguing prospect profile where he was highly productive at Michigan State and UNLV, but his 4.61 40-yard dash was a letdown. He's on the roster bubble ahead of Week 1.

Seahawks' Ricky White: Doesn't practice Saturday
Rotowire
White (undisclosed) did not participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
The type and severity of White's injury isn't clear, but he was held out of Saturday's practice and is in jeopardy of missing more in the coming week. The rookie seventh-rounder is competing for a depth spot on the Seahawks' 53-man roster, so participating in practice is crucial for him to make his case to survive cut-down day. White will aim to be available for Seattle's preseason opener against Las Vegas on Thursday.
