Romello Da'Quan White (born May 9, 1998) is an American professional basketball player. He played college basketball for the Arizona State Sun Devils and the Ole Miss Rebels.
White attended Wheeler High School. He developed a relationship with former NBA player Jerry Stackhouse in high school, and Stackhouse became his mentor. White originally signed with Georgia Tech, but reconsidered after coach Brian Gregory was fired.
