Rachaad White is reuniting with Jayden Daniels.
The duo played together at Arizona State, and now they'll join forces with the Washington Commanders after White's free agent signing.
The addition of White to Washington was reported Thursday afternoon by ESPN's Adam Schefter.
White had spent his entire NFL career with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before reaching free agency this offseason.
He was a third-round pick by the Bucs in the 2022 NFL Draft, No. 91 overall, after shining for the Sun Devils.

The 27-year old had a middling role as a rookie, with 129 runs for 481 yards and 50 catches for 290 yards.
His second season, in 2023, was his best: 272 runs for 990 yards and six touchdowns, and 64 receptions for 549 yards and three more TDs.
In 2024, White took a backseat to Bucky Irving but still ran for 613 yards and had 51 catches for another 393 yards (and a career-high six receiving touchdowns).
The 2025 season was a lot like that, with 572 rushing yards and 40 grabs for 218 receiving yards.
White fits one role that Washington really needed to find in free agency: a pass-catching back.
He only has a 3.9 yards per carry average in his NFL career, but unlike Jacory Croskey-Merritt, White is a great receiving back, averaging 3.1 catches per game in his career.
That'll be of great use to Jayden Daniels, and if he can also land on the glass half full side of his running ability, White could end up playing a lot for the Commanders.
