Biography

Jesse Allen White (born 19 April 1986) is an American professional wrestler and former football player. During his time in WWE's developmental territories, he wrestled as Jake Carter. He is a second generation professional wrestler; his father, Leon White, competed in professional wrestling as Big Van Vader. He is also a former college football player, having played college football for the University of Oklahoma before retiring due to injuries.

Professional wrestling career

White, like his father (known in professional wrestling as Big Van Vader), first embarked on a football career before trying out at professional wrestling. He joined the University of Oklahoma's football team in 2005, but hip and back injuries ended his career almost as soon as it began, but White stayed involved as a student coach for the team.

White then moved on to training to become a professional wrestler under the tutelage of his father. He wrestled matches in Japan while teaming with his father in 2010 and 2011.
