We have sad news to pass along to Buckeye Nation.

White played under Earl Bruce from 1984-1987 before being drafted by the Detroit Lions in the fourth round of the 1988 NFL draft. He had an eleven-year career in the NFL that took him from Detroit (six years) to Kansas City (three years), and then to Atlanta (two years).
