Background
Hailing from Corpus Christi, Texas, Billy White III developed his game at Veterans Memorial High School. The 6-8 forward has navigated the competitive Texas prep basketball landscape while establishing himself as one of the premier prospects in the Lone Star State.
Playing Style
White possesses the prototypical modern forward build at 6-8, giving him the versatility to play multiple positions effectively. His length allows him to be disruptive defensively while creating matchup problems on the offensive end.

Ranked 45th nationally in the 2025 class, he represents a solid get for the Mustangs as they look to add length and versatility to their roster. His ceiling projects as a consistent contributor who can develop into a key piece of SMU's future plans.
