Previewing the 2025 season for Penn State DE Enai White with his player profile
Going into the 2025 football season, Nittany Lions Wire will examine each player listed on the Penn State roster. Over the preseason, each profile will cover the player's background, how recruiting websites rated them coming out of high school, and what role they will play for James Franklin this season.
Defensive end Enai White was a member of Texas A&M's historic 2022 recruiting class, which still ranks as the best class of all time per the 247Sports rankings. White had a promising start to his college career but sustained a knee injury midway through the 2023 season, which kept him sidelined for all but one game in 2024. After three seasons with the Aggies, he entered the transfer portal and landed at Penn State, where he's seemingly recovered. Here's a look at Kemajou entering the 2025 season.

White, a near 5-star recruit and one of Pennsylvania's top talents, was brought back to the Keystone State by Franklin through the transfer portal, continuing the trend of returning in-state players like Julian Fleming from Ohio State and Nolan Rucci from Wisconsin.

Depth Chart Overview
The two-deep at defensive end is expected to consist of Dani Dennis-Sutton, Zuriah Fisher, Max Granville and Jaylen Harvey, but if there's one player who could throw a wrench into that, it's White. His recruiting pedigree and early trajectory at Texas A&M indicate he could be a contributor, but his injury status is a major question mark. For what it's worth, White appeared in the Blue-White Game, signifying at least some level of health.
