The Seattle Seahawks brought back wider receiver Cody White earlier this week.

The former Michigan State star signed as an undrafted free agent back in 2020 and joined

the team in 2023.

He's now set to fight for a spot on the 53 man roster heading into next season.

White earned a place on last year's initial roster thanks to his work on special teams.

He played in 10 games, catching three passes for 90 yards, including a big touchdown against

the commanders.

He also handled four kickoff returns for 106 yards.

Head coach Mike McDonald clearly values White's first utility in those roles.

That gives him a real shot, despite the Crowder receiver room.

The Seahawks kept their top three from last year by resigning with Sheet Shaheed before

free agency.

Meanwhile, Jackson Smith and Jigba and Cooper Cup lead the group, with Tori Horton likely

locking down the fourth spot as a sophomore.

From there, White faces stiff competition from Jigbobo, Ricky White III, and any new additions

from the 2026 draft or undrafted, free agents.

It's a tough battle, but White's special team skills could tip the scales and land him

on the final roster.
