LSU linebacker Devin White joined "Off the Bench" on 104.5 ESPN Friday morning and talked about his decision to play in the Fiesta Bowl instead of skipping it to prepare for the NFL Draft.

"It wasn't a tough choice at all," White said. "Everybody thinks I'm going to the NFL but I'm really all the way in at LSU and I haven't even started making a decision yet. If I was to say I wasn't playing, that means I've made a decision."

"I want to finish the season and end on a good note. Then I want to start talking to my family to make a decision. But right now I'm focused on passing my finals and getting ready for the bowl prep."

The Butkus Award winner also was asked about his upcoming decision about the NFL Draft. White is expected to be a top pick in the draft but said he is not going to rush his decision until after the Fiesta Bowl.

"I might give it a week or so (after the Fiesta Bowl) because I'm not in a rush," White said.

"I'm happy where I'm at. I love the state of Louisiana. I love all my coaches, all my friends, and family around here. I love my teammates. So, I'm not in a rush. I just need to talk to whoever I need to talk to. I need to ask Coach O what I need to look for, my pros and my cons. At the end of the day, I'm not out. I'm still at LSU, and it'll be an easy decision because I've got the right people around me to help me make it. So It's not like I'm some 20-year old kid making this decision by myself. I have a lot of great people around me that are going to help me make it."
