Syracuse is expected to hire Green Bay Packers coaching assistant Myles White as its wide receivers coach and passing game coordinator, ESPN's Adam Rittenberg reported Tuesday.
White, a former Packers wide receiver himself, joined the coaching staff through a Bill Walsh Diversity Fellowship. He spent 2022-23 as the wide receivers coach at Miami (Ohio), adding passing game coordinator duties in 2023.
A Louisiana Tech product, White played in the NFL and CFL from 2013-18, then entered coaching as a quality control at SMU from 2019-20. White then coached wideouts for Stephen F. Austin in 2022 before moving up to FBS.
White joins Syracuse at a good time. Under first-year head coach Fran Brown and offensive coordinator Jeff Nixon, the Orange led FBS -- by 20 yards per game -- with 370 passing yards per game while improving from 6-7 to 10-3. Syracuse boasted three players that surpassed the 900-yard mark, including wideouts Jackson Meeks (78 grabs for 1,021 yards) and Trebor Pena (84 catches for 941 yards). It was the first time Syracuse pushed a wide receiver above the 700-yard mark since 2020.
White replaces Ross Douglas, who took the same job with Oregon.
