Mike White, quarterback for the Miami Dolphins, has been on a winning streak. In Week 13, he led his team to a 45–15 win over the Commanders. With this win, the Dolphins are now the top team in the AFC and could be in the running for the Super Bowl. Fans are interested in White’s personal life, including his faith, race, and family ties, in addition to how well he plays baseball.
Fans often wonder about Mike White’s religion and whether he is Jewish or Christian. There are some signs that White might be a Christian, even though he hasn’t said out loud what religion he follows. Among other things, he supported “The Salvation Army,” a Christian charity, through the NFL’s “My Cause, My Cleats” program. The fact that he has the Bible verse “Philippians 4:13” tattooed on his left arm adds to this idea.
According to the opposite view, some people think White might be Jewish based on his last name and physical traits. There is, however, no factual proof to back up this claim. White’s roots are mostly English, but he also has small amounts of Swedish, Norwegian, German, and Cornish ancestry. His last name, “White,” could be an Old English nickname for someone with light hair or skin, or it could be the name of a place that means “white.”
White’s dad, James Melville “Mel” White, used to write anti-Semitic speeches and blog posts for people on the Religious Right. Mel White started the gay rights group Soulforce and became an advocate for LGBTQ+ Christians. He later came out as gay. Based on his past, Mike White is probably a Christian, but he isn’t affiliated with any particular church or denomination. He probably has a more open-minded and progressive view of Christianity.
Mel and Lyla White had their son Mike White on March 25, 1995, in Pembroke Pines, Florida. They split up when he was young. Alex and Molly are his older brothers. White has always loved writing and sports, even though he grew up in a religious home with no ties to the entertainment business.
He went to school at the University School of Nova Southeastern University in Davie, Florida. There, he did well in football and basketball. After doing well at South Florida, he moved on to Western Kentucky for his last two years of college football. White first played in the NFL when the Dallas Cowboys picked him in the 2018 draft. He then played briefly for the New York Jets and finally signed with the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 2023.
White is mostly white and comes from a number of European countries. The name of his paternal grandma, Betty Jean Red Cloud, makes me think of Native American ancestry, but official sources have not confirmed this. White is proud of his heritage and often posts pictures of his family on social media. He says that they have helped and inspired him in his work.
