2023 Senior Bowl Scouting: EDGE Keion White, Georgia Tech

2023 Senior Bowl Scouting Notes: EDGE Keion White, Georgia Tech

A transfer from Old Dominion, Keion White is an intriguing athletic monster who moves much better than a player should be moving at almost 290 pounds. He carries his weight extremely well and can generate solid power with his skillset. With that ability, White can make things happen and contribute immediately in a variety of ways.

Keion White scouting notes

Pros:

  • Good speed. Moves well, and has a fluid motion.  
  • Shows a good arsenal of moves that require good athletic ability.  
  • Flashes an extraordinary first step. Very impressive. Uses his length to spring forward very well. Very explosive. 
  • Good, not great, upper body strength. 
  • Good balance when he brings his rush around the edge. 
  • I really like White’s hand usage and I think he does a good job keeping his leverage throughout a play. Intense at the point of contact.  
  • Decent wrap up tackler. Sheer size certainly helps him. 
  • Plays solid contain.  Good space defender. 

Cons:

  • Decent lateral quickness, not great. Can stunt but isn’t particularly effective doing it. 
  • I don’t see a lot of bend from White, more of a power rusher who will have to use his hands a bit to get into the backfield. 
  • Placement isn’t always great as he prefers to go straight to a swipe.
