[UPDATE 5-2-15 - 247Sports has relisted him in their Offers List]
Per BON:
Offered by the Longhorns as a running back/athlete, Aubrey White seems most likely to end up as an all-purpose back or perhaps even a defensive back. [O]ffers out to White are as much about potential as production -- he scored only three touchdowns as a junior, but given his superior 2013 rushing numbers, it's possible that White was limited in some way last fall.
White looks more like a wide receiver or a defensive back than a running back, but he has skills that project favorably for him to continue carrying the football at the next level, especially his ability to stop and start again, as well as a slide cut that is impressive.
His speed is solid, but he's not quite a breakaway threat on film or in terms of his testing time last spring. At his best, he's making defenders miss in small spaces or lowering his shoulder to to demonstrate power belied by his modest size.
In the passing game, White made most of his catches on screens while providing some evidence that he can operate as a pure receiver and come up with catches in traffic.
