Kyzir White, Safety, West Virginia

Kyzir White is an amazing talent. Fearless, physical, possessing tremendous explosion and described as a “freight train,” who leaves his marks on opposing ball carriers, White has no issues in setting the tone of a football game.

Coming through the junior college ranks (JUCO), White needed time to grow into his body and develop his physical traits. At 6-foot-2 and 216 pounds, the Mountaineer brings a hard-nosed game, mirroring the likes of former 49er safety Dashon Goldson.

To have White on the roster and competing for a starting job only solidifies the defensive effort the 49ers should put forward on its agenda.

Genetically, the White brothers were born and raised to be football players. His brother, Kevin, is a wide receiver for the Chicago Bears, and sibling, K’Raun, currently plays wide receiver for West Virginia.

The gene pool runs deep with talent for the White clan, the 49ers family would welcome Kyzir White with open arms, and be grateful to have him on board.
