Former LSU football cornerback suffers season-ending injury

For most of his career, former LSU football cornerback Tre’Davious White has been more than reliable for whatever team he’s played for, either in college or the NFL. However, as of Sunday, he’s officially suffered his second season-ending injury in the last three seasons.

Former LSU football cornerback Tre’Davious White suffers second career season-ending injury

Since being drafted by the Buffalo Bills in 2017, former LSU football cornerback Tre’Davious White has been lights out.

Through his seven seasons with the franchise, he’s recorded 311 tackles, 68 passes defended and 18 interceptions. However, over the last few seasons, it’s been hard for him to stay on the field.

He suffered the first major injury of his NFL career in 2021 when he tore his ACL on Thanksgiving vs. the Saints. He returned to the field a little over a year later, but as of Sunday, is officially out again after tearing his right Achilles.

White has been with the Buffalo Bills since the start of the Sean McDermott era when he was picked up with their first draft pick in 2017. He’s widely viewed as a leader and one of the best players on their defense.

“We’re going to do our best to support Tre and his family,” Bills head coach Sean McDermott said. “I had a chance to visit with him yesterday after the game and just obviously, it was not an easy time and it isn’t going to be an easy time for him right now, and he’s got a challenge in front of him, but he’s overcome challenges before and I’m confident that he will overcome this challenge as well and that’s what Tre White does.”

White is one of the best defensive backs in Tiger history

When thinking about “DBU” and LSU football, it’s only natural for Tre’Davious White to come to mind. His stats speak for themself, having totaled 167 tackles, 14 passes defended and six tackles through four seasons with the Tigers.

Additionally, he consistently played at a top-tier level in the SEC, being named to an All-SEC team three out of his four seasons.

However, he wasn’t only elite as a cornerback. He was also a stellar returner, totaling 688 yards and three touchdowns on punt returns.

Tre’Davious White has always been an all-time great kind of player, whether in college or the NFL. With his future up in the air, there’s no doubt both Tiger Nation and Bills Mafia will be hoping to see him back on the field soon.
