This guy is not a prospect in the 2018 draft, but I saw how fast this guy was moving in some Arden Key film and I had to watch some of his.
It's a highlight tape, but still.. oh my.
The speed, weight, motor, and production is absolutely insane. The film reminds me of an ex 49ers LB from the south we all know and love(d).
127 tackles this year, 4.5 sacks, 1st team SEC
This guy could be a scary prospect next year. Ill definitely be keeping my eye on him.
Yeah, he popped for me while I was watching Key as well, love the range, saw some poor missed tackles, but I'll certainly be watching closer this year.

Stock Up: LSU Linebacker Devin White
"In a class that's lacking outside a few elite names, linebacker Devin White could intrigue teams early in the draft thanks to his special combination of athleticism and instincts. White is a lot like former UCLA linebacker Myles Jack—now with the Jacksonville Jaguars—as a former running back-turned-'backer who has the eyes of an offensive player with the meanness of a defender."
Caught some of LSU this year and he is an interesting player
"White is a complete linebacker with sideline-to-sideline speed and the ability to play inside and outside. No matter what the LSU coaches have asked of White, whether it is drop in coverage or blitz, he has stood out. He's the closest thing to Ryan Shazier in this draft"
USA Today
He's legit. Outside of pass rushers, he's the best linebacker in this class by far and even that's debateable. If we don't get Bosa I hope we can trade down and accumulate another top 50 pick
CBS Sports draft writer Chris Trapasso believes that LSU junior LB Devin White is a player that could be targeted by the Raiders in the first round.
As you might have heard, the Raiders now have three first-round picks after Monday's trade of Amari Cooper to the Cowboys. That Dallas pick currently projects as a selection between 13-18, and White (6'0/240) would absolutely make sense in that area in Trapasso's eyes. "White's a twitchy, ultra-aggressive linebacker who, as a 20-year-old, probably has his best football in front of him," Trapasso writes. "He's a little slow reacting to his keys and is a liability as a tackler but plays with his hair on fire." After passing on a potential defensive star in Derwin James, the Raiders would do well to procure the services of White with one of their picks.
Still think this kid is very easily a top 7 prospect. Maybe top 5
And better than foster ever was
And edge rusher is still a far bigger need than linebacker. The fortunate thing is that Warner seems to have the tools and IQ, on and off the field to hold down MLB. What they will need is to land another guy like him to handle the weakside.
