Justin White was a special teams ace who played his way into playing time last year, highlighted by an interception at Ohio State.

According to the Michigan State Athletics website, White played his season-high in defensive snaps in the final game against Pitt in the Peach Bowl. He looks to build on that momentum this season and it appears that he has progressed nicely this spring.

White is fast and caught everything in his general direction on Saturday. He took this from the drills to the field later in the practice, making some plays including a very nice diving pass breakup.

Would I buy this stock?

Yes. White worked his way into the playing field last season, and I see him taking more snaps this year. He is fast and looked very comfortable on the field by the end of his sophomore campaign.

Additionally, Kimbrough and Ronald Williams will be gone next year, and he will be next up for a monster senior season. Even if he does not see the field much on defense this year, he is a dynamic player on special teams and recovered a fumble in the Peach Bowl. White should take a step forward and I will be watching for his progress this season with bated breath.
