This kid is so stuck on himself! He is telling everybody around Springhill he is headed to Bama.

He wears a t-shirt around that says "I am Devin White"

Just for the record, I've always found Devin to be polite and respectful to me. Having said that, he's a 17 year old teenage boy. In my experience, even the best of that species are FAR from perfect. Is he enjoying being in the spotlight? I would think so, just like I would've done so had I had a similar opportunity when I was 17 y/o. I think a lot of this is just fun for him; that doesn't bother me. I could also care less if he wears a t-shir w/ his name on it. I'll continue to encourage him to go to LSU and NOT Bama, but none of this means anything until he signs his LOI. Coaches and teachers at NWHS will continue to try and keep him grounded, as will many of his teammates. I'm certainly not going to trash him on the' net for behaving no worse than most teens in a similar situation (and better than many). IF he ends up at Bama, I'll still support him as one of our locals, but I WILL poke fun at him when we beat BAMA.
