Few people could’ve seen Ethan White’s body transformation happening this quickly. When he enrolled at UF in January 2019, he weighed nearly 400 pounds. And it wasn’t a well-built, impressive-looking 400 pounds, either.
White was significantly overweight and out of shape. He struggled to make it through some of offensive line coach John Hevesy’s drills that spring. He looked like a work-in-progress that made you wonder what Hevesy and Dan Mullen saw in him when they recruited him.
Fast forward nearly three years later, and White is slated to start at left guard this season. He’s down to 319 pounds on the official roster, which makes him lighter than fellow guard Stewart Reese by more than 25 pounds.
