I love Devin White and he is a very good linebacker, but many of his tackles were 5-10 yds downfield. The Georgia linebacker is a better whole filler. Kevin Minter was better at filling the hole than White is at this point. White is very good at the delayed blitz and his speed makes up for him being out of position at times.

I expect him to be an absolute animal next year with another year of practice and film watching under his belt.



You made a great comment and dumbasses downvote you because it doesn’t fit their narrative.
White ADMITTED he had a terrible game once and he made 16 tackles if I recall. The reason. Exactly what you said - not filling the hole.

What other LB this year can say their was performance was 16 tackles whether solo or assisted? They count for everyone else so they should count for D. White. Nobody gives a sht if the entire Rant played football. Doesn't mean you don't know football.

You see, the funny thing about filling holes is the DLine helps create them. Well, the DLine D. White played with this year had it's best players hurt much of the season. Can't tell me that doesn't make a difference. Clemson Dline and Devin White and he's over 150 tackles at the rate he was going.

Excellent post.

And many of the tackles that DWhite made downfield were made from the off side of the play.

its a result of playing on national tv in the biggest conf game in the nation.

remember derrick henry was rocketed to Heisman after just the lsu game.

not to diminish smith's season, but they generally give awards to teams in the mix.

I can’t dispute that, technically? But I can tell you Devin is a hell of a hole-filler (obligatory “giggity”).

Devin White is the best linebacker in college football.

Is there a recorded stat that supports this? I'm not saying its not true, but where is the proof that everyone seems to accept as fact? So White had more tackles & TFL, but most of his tackles were further downfield?

I haven't seen a better LB this year in college football!

Apparently he doesn't when he's whooping it up celebrating after the tackle of a ballcarrier that has made a 15 yard gain downfield. See what I mean by the term dumbasses??

As usual, Bama and UGA players will get cute trophies, and LSU players will make millions more in the NFL.

If you had watched any of LSU's games carefully this season you wouldn't have to ask that question, idiot.

I don't why people are making a big deal that Smith played in the SEC title game which is why he was named POY. Patrick Peterson, Erik Berry just to name a few didn't play in the SECCG and won POY. White's body of work was overall better imo. Yeah smith had a bunch of solo tackles, White had 127 altogether, only 2 fewer sacks, defended the pass better and an INT to smith's zero. If the Smith was that much better than White, than why didn't he win the SEC Player more often? White broke the record at 4. An All-SEC player is doing good to win it just once or maybe twice.

Really, I'm making shite up, huh?? So, what people on here are saying about White isn't true according to you, we just imagined we saw it this past season. Listen, everyone knows the kid is talented and can play, but a lil constructive criticism never hurt anyone except maybe you guys cause you seem awfully hurt over this shite. Lol
