Former Louisville Guard Tre White Announces Transfer Destination

White is the third former Cardinal to announce his transfer destination this offseason.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Another former member of the Louisville men's basketball program has found his way through the other side of the transfer portal.

Guard Tre White announced Tuesday that he has committed to Brad Underwood and Illinois.

White is the third former Cardinal to find his new transfer home. Guard Skyy Clark is heading back home to UCLA, and forward Brandon Huntley-Hatfield opted to stay in the ACC and go to NC State.

White was one of eleven Louisville players to enter the transfer portal following the dismissal of second-year head coach Kenny Payne back on Mar. 13. Because of the heavy influx of portal defections, Louisville has zero scholarship returners for the 2024-25 season.

In White's lone season at Louisville, the 6-foot-7, 205-pound guard/forward was one of the Cardinals' more consistent interior scoring options and rebounders. Playing in 29 game with 26 starts, he averaged the fourth-most points per game on the team at 12.3, while his 5.9 rebounds per game was second. His 45.6 field goal percentage was third on the team, and his 106 made two-point field goals was second.

The Napa, Calif native spent his true freshman campaign at USC before transferring to Louisville. He made an immediate impact, averaging 9.0 points and 5.1 rebounds per game, while also shooting 47.4 percent from the field. He was named to the Pac-12 All-Freshman Team for his efforts, and helped the Trojans go 22-11 with a berth in the NCAA Tournament.

With Louisville in line to return just walk-on guard Hercy Miller from last season, new head coach Pat Kelsey and his staff have hit the ground running out on the recruiting trail since his hiring on Mar. 28. The Cardinals have landed transfer commitments from Reyne Smith and James Scott - both of whom played for Kelsey at Charleston - as well as former James Madison star and 2024 Sun Belt Player of the Year Terrence Edwards Jr.
