White was still recovering from undergoing surgery to repair his Achilles tendon and the Rams planned to slowly have him begin practicing while he recovered. Their plans immediately changed following Darious Williams sustaining a hamstring injury and White was instantly put back into preparations to start the season.

He entered training camp slated as the No. 1 starting cornerback under defensive coordinator Chris Shula after the Rams did not re-sign Ahkello Witherspoon and was paired with Darious Williams. Head coach Sean McVay named White and Cobie Durant the starting cornerbacks to begin the season after Williams suffered a hamstring injury. On September 8, 2024, he started in the Los Angeles Rams' season–opener at the Detroit Lions and collected a season–high five combined tackles (three solo) during a 20–26 overtime loss. Head coach Sean McVay benched White as a healthy scratch after Week 4 and he never played another snap for the Rams, missing the next four games (Weeks 5–9) until they found a trade partner.

In 2018, as part of a cross-promotion between Pegula Sports and Entertainment sports properties, White appeared in a commercial for the fictional "Tre White Goalie Academy" promoting White's effort to be elected to a Pro Bowl. The commercial became a sort of running gag for White, who notes the similarities between the goaltender and defensive back positions in that both serve as a last line of defense against scoring, and that there were no collegiate hockey teams in Louisiana (White had been a track and basketball star during football offseason in high school). White became a fan of Buffalo Sabres goaltender Carter Hutton (whom White mock-mistakenly called "Sutton" in the video) as a result of making the commercial, having otherwise largely been unaware of hockey before joining the Bills.{{Cite web |date=October 24, 2019 |title=Bills CB Tre'Davious White Keeps Coming Up With Big Saves |url=https://wnynewsnow.com/2019/10/24/bills-cb-tredavious-white-keeps-coming-up-with-big-saves/ |access-date=October 24, 2019 |website=WNY News Now |agency=Associated Press}} In White's first Sunday Night Football appearance in 2019, White identified his alma mater as the Tre White Goalie Academy during on-screen introductions; White subsequently caught two interceptions in the game, playing a major role in the Bills' playoff-clinching win.{{cite web |last=Owen |first=Chris |date=December 16, 2019 |title=Bills' Tre White Lets America Know He Went To The "Goalie Academy" |url=https://wyrk.com/bills-tre-white-lets-america-know-he-went-to-the-goalie-academy/ |access-date=December 16, 2019 |website=WYRK}}
