Efrem White

Physical Profile

Listed at 6-1, 155 lbs. Taller than 52% and heavier than 0% of 2026 Athlete prospects in the SEC Scouts database (150 with a listed size).

Play Style

White is a smooth, long-striding playmaker who is most dangerous when he has room to run. At receiver he wins vertically and after the catch rather than with physical releases. On defense he fits best in off-man coverage, where he can read the quarterback and close on the ball. As a quarterback he played like a slasher who could beat defenses with his legs or throw off play-action. That experience should help him read coverages and find open areas as a receiver. He does not yet play with a big receiver's physicality.

Strengths

• Big-play speed and vertical ability: he scored on an 80-yard catch on the first snap of the state title game and finished that game with 3 catches for 101 yards, and Ivins singled out his work on deep routes
• Rare versatility and feel with the ball: as a senior QB he threw for 2,581 yards and 32 TDs and ran for 977 yards and 22 TDs, leading Vero Beach to a 14-1 record. That shows he can process a defense and create after contact or in space
• Two-way instincts: as a junior he had 3 INTs as a cornerback while catching 25 passes for 349 yards and 6 TDs, and his ball skills and understanding of coverage should help his route running against college DBs
• Agility and hurdler's hips let him change direction without losing speed, which projects well to double moves, stop routes and run-after-catch

Areas to Improve

• Play strength and mass: he has to add weight without losing burst to beat press-man, stay on his routes through contact and win 50/50 balls. It is the most common knock in his evaluations
• Receiver technique: he spent most of his senior year at QB, so his release package, route stems, sharp breaks at the top of routes and blocking all need a lot of reps before he is a trusted starter
• Consistent hands and body control in traffic still need to be shown on film against high-level competition, since most of his receiving tape comes from his underclass seasons

College Projection

He is a developmental outside receiver at Florida State. He was one of the surprises of FSU's 2026 spring camp after visible weight gain over the winter, but he is still in a crowded young receiver room. A realistic path is to use 2026 for special teams, gadget or jet-sweep packages and possibly a redshirt, then compete for a rotational role in 2027 once he reaches about 185 lb. By 2028 he has a starting-level ceiling as a vertical Z receiver or big-play slot. If receiver stalls, a move back to corner is a real fallback.

NFL Outlook

He is a mid-to-late-round developmental prospect with upside if he adds mass. His length, agility and vertical speed are the traits NFL scouts look for in outside receivers and press corners. His draft value depends almost entirely on adding strength and building a college film résumé at one position. If he develops, he projects as a Day 2 or Day 3 player around 2029 or 2030. If not, he is more likely a priority free agent whose versatility helps his case on special teams.

Best Fit

The best fit is a spread, vertical passing offense that uses motion and gives its receivers free releases through bunch and stack alignments, jet motion and RPOs, so it can get him in space while he builds strength. FSU's system fits if the staff is patient with his development in the weight room. An off-man or quarters defense would also make good use of his coverage instincts if he ever moves to corner.
