Impact Thursday was a night to remember for White, who set a career high with 32 rushing attempts and 219 yards. The running back handled his biggest workload of the season, having not reached over 15 rushing attempts in the team's prior games. He handled the pressure well in his first American Conference game after coming off a four-touchdown game against FCS Houston Christian. His lone touchdown came on a 14-yard rush in the third quarter. White's season totals through five games are video-game-like, accumulating 582 rushing yards and eight touchdowns on 84 attempts while adding 155 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 21 catches.

Explodes for four touchdowns White compiled 11 rushes for 133 yards and four touchdowns and gathered in all three targets for 17 yards during Saturday's 63-14 victory over Houston Christian.

Impact Week in and week out, White continues to impress and is making a strong case for being the best back in the American Conference. The running back is off to a dominant start, and it's hard to tell he is coming back from a season-ending knee injury. He recorded four touchdowns for the first time in his career, bringing his season total to nine scores. Saturday was an easy test for White against an FCS opponent, but with conference play upcoming, he'll look to maintain the same workload against Tulsa in Week 5.

Impact White scored a pair of touchdowns for the second straight game, continuing to be a bright spot in the Mean Green's offense. The running back struggled to find success on the ground but still handled a heavy workload despite the team relying on the passing game for most of the game. He made an impact as a pass catcher as well, hauling in seven receptions to boost his overall production. White has established himself as a workhorse to begin the season and should continue seeing heavy involvement as conference play approaches.

Effective rushing and receiving White totaled 12 rushes for 124 yards and one touchdown and caught 2 of 3 targets for 34 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 44-6 win over UNLV.

Impact White made his presence known Saturday by scoring a rushing and receiving touchdown. The running back torched UNLV's defense, rushing for 124 yards on only 12 attempts while finding the end zone for the second straight game. His workload was limited late in the game due to the blowout, with Brendon Haygood relieving him in the third quarter.

Accounts for only touchdown White logged 14 carries for 61 yards and one touchdown and gathered in 7 of 8 targets for 36 yards during Saturday's 52-16 loss versus Indiana.

Impact White battled a knee injury that he sustained in the 2025 campaign throughout fall camp before recovering in time to account for the Mean Green's only touchdown of the game. The running back led the team with 14 carries, positioning himself to lead the backfield after being a starter at West Virginia in prior seasons. His involvement as a pass catcher is equally notable, as he hauled in a team-high seven receptions. It was a difficult season opener for North Texas, and the offense will face another test against UNLV next Saturday.
