Since entering the portal, White became one of the top shooting guards to hit the open market. He is currently the No. 96 overall player and No. 25-ranked SG so far this cycle, according to the On3 Industry Transfer Rankings.

North Dakota State went 21-11 overall this season, including an 11-6 mark in Summit League action. The Bison saw their season come to an end in the conference tournament against South Dakota despite defeating the Coyotes twice during the regular season.
