The Seattle Seahawks selected UNLV WR Ricky White with the 238th pick of Round 7 in the 2025 NFL Draft. Over the last two years, he combined for 2,524 receiving yards and 19 receiving TDs. White initially committed to Michigan State but was buried on the depth chart in his first two seasons (not even seeing game action in 2021).A transfer to UNLV opened the floodgates. White tallied 50+ catches in each of his three seasons. He had a 3.36 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked first among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 40.7%, and 13th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with an 82. He is currently 23 years old with a Breakout Age of 18.6. He ranked 18th among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 6.24. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Hunter Renfrow. His production is intriguing enough to warrant a deep dynasty roster spot if there is an opening for him to ascend the depth chart.

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

White's insane production at UNLV makes him an intriguing player to keep an eye on.

The Seahawks did draft WR Tory Horton in the fifth round, and now gets White in Round 7.

Dynasty Impact

White's lack of athleticism makes him a pass in rookie drafts unless it is very deep

With an open situation on the outside, he could be a taxi squad stash in case the production translates.
